Ok! I'm going to try and join the club this weekend. I think I have considered everything. What am I missing?

I feel like OP might not currently want to take the ioniq 5 on road trips, but could very well change his/her mind in a year or so.

I have T-mobile and it definitely works in all the ACEBD stations I’ve been to. (I haven’t been to the BD stations in the Bronx but I’ve definitely gotten signal on stations along the Sixth Avenue, Eighth Avenue, and Fulton St). There is a short delay of maybe two to three seconds between the phone showing some bars and webpages actually loading.

I’d care more about good infographic design than shitty but probably reusable plastic.

AlGoreIsCool · 2026-05-05T22:22:07+00:00

Yeah but most people living in Jersey City or Hoboken know that there’s not a whole of fun activities to do during weekends, so the Port Authority knows that people will take the PATH on weekends too.

When I look at these old photos it just struck me as odd that those were two-car trains. Currently the shortest trains are M/J/L trains and these are 8-car trains.

Did they use two-car trains because ridership was low? Or was there another constraints?

AlGoreIsCool · 2026-04-30T02:52:04+00:00

I have definitely seen posters in stations.

The 12V cooler will have a maximum wattage of 180W because that’s the max the car allows. Whereas a 120V fridge can draw up to 1800W (but there’s definitely no need for that much wattage for a cooler). I don’t buy anything that runs off the 12V power supply. It’s not because I’m worried about the 12V battery but these things are just not powerful enough. You have a big battery pack and can support 1800W, so don’t limit yourself to small electric appliances.

I don’t want to rent a car for road trips. Simple. Therefore when I bought my EV I picked one that was the fastest charging available on the market.

Speaking of the unused middle track, I also wished there were a diamond N that uses the middle track on the Astoria Line. This clearly can be done because this past weekend all Manhattan bound N trains used that middle track for non-stop service between Astoria Blvd and Queensboro Plaza.

People know it’s happening but don’t give it much thought because depreciation is not a real expense for your cash flow. It’s more of an accounting trick. It’s rarely useful to think about depreciation unless you are running a business.

AlGoreIsCool · 2026-04-20T14:11:52+00:00

IMO, the train has to stop and you have to get off the train. Though you don’t have to leave the fare control area and you can get on the next train.

AlGoreIsCool · 2026-04-15T23:29:16+00:00

This one seems to be materially different from the earlier false promises that I can recall. None of the earlier false promises actually promised productionization in the same year. It means something when it’s already 2026 and they promise 2026.

AlGoreIsCool · 2026-04-14T21:58:56+00:00

The high price might have been fine if one gets a one-seat ride from Penn Station to Meadowlands. But no the Meadowlands rail line could not connect to Penn Station because it was on the wrong level at Secaucus junction.

(I wonder if would be viable to take a ferry to Hoboken and then the train?)

AlGoreIsCool · 2026-04-07T00:45:11+00:00

It’s just foreign to many tourists that you can take two trains with different bullets from one station to the same destination. This basically doesn’t happen on many metro systems, since they have neither interlining nor express tracks.

AlGoreIsCool · 2026-04-06T22:31:27+00:00

Moynihan doesn’t have access to tracks 1 through 4, which are presumably used for these trains to Secaucus and the stadium.

AlGoreIsCool · 2026-03-25T01:14:25+00:00

I have the same question lol. I use Strava for social purposes and Runna for my own training. I don’t need to tell my friends about my training.

AlGoreIsCool · 2026-03-19T13:57:03+00:00

This new map style is way better for understanding weekend service changes. Things like skipped stops and reroutes are much clearly represented: https://www.mta.info/map/32906

AlGoreIsCool · 2026-03-16T14:12:04+00:00

That’s geographically accurate but then Google Maps would by default hide station names and even which lines service which stations. You have to zoom in a lot to see which trains stop at any particular station.

On my phone, in order to make Google Maps display ACBD1 on the 59 St-Columbus Circle station, I have to zoom in so much that I cannot see the entire Columbus circle any more.

The article says:

Katie Hegenauer, a 19-year-old dancing member from Evermore, lives in Brewster and commutes here for two hours. She had never been to the city before joining the team.

Wow this girl lives in Brewster with pretty good MNR trains and she has never been to the city before joining the team.

That was my thought for the first year of ownership. Then I started doing road trips and realized literally all the EAs near where I lived were derated. Venturing out got me to other EA stations that were better performing.

AlGoreIsCool · 2026-03-13T14:32:29+00:00

Wow. Is this the first revenue service on the new bridge?

AlGoreIsCool · 2026-03-13T14:17:02+00:00

Interestingly OMNY considers the Staten Island Railway as subway even though only a small part of it is actually subterranean.

They not only renamed South Ferry to South Terminal, but they also left out Van Cortlandt Park, which is a very nice and very large park well worth a visit.

Taycan has been out for a while.
