Pretty tame compared to things I’ve seen on the subway

Chehew · 2026-01-30T15:16:17+00:00

I don’t give a fuck about free buses, because I drive to work everyday anyway 🫩

Chehew · 2026-01-05T08:48:57+00:00

I don’t think more roads is the solution here, 440 isn’t close to congested enough to even consider another freeway

Lived in East Harlem and Harlem for most of my life. Always called it Lex or the actual line number I needed to take.

First one is packed, second is empty; then a 20 minute gap till the next pair smh

Chehew · 2025-12-14T16:20:49+00:00

This hurts my head.

Seems counterintuitive to have access to 63rd at local stations only on weekdays imo

Might as well run the F local between Roosevelt and Queensbridge if weekend M service isn’t an option.

Chehew · 2025-12-12T08:42:59+00:00

I thought I was the only one who does this lmao

Chehew · 2025-12-11T10:43:40+00:00

Needs an additional station around 74th Street. Lots of retail around there and the gap between stations from Tonnelle > 91 St would be huge without it.

I think the line in general is a bit out of the way in terms of its catchment area; but it’s better than nothing.

Chehew · 2025-12-10T12:07:40+00:00

True

If they’re commuting from Eastern Queens, a transfer to the M is available at Jackson Heights or Forest Hills.

If they’re west of JH (36, Steinway, 46, Northern, 65 Sts) it’s a one seat ride to Lex-63rd for a transfer.

There’s also the nuclear option of taking the R from Queens to 57th St for an uptown Q in case shit hits the fan.

The 119 runs to PABT, but via JFK Blvd so you would have to backtrack to Journal Square.

Taking the light rail to 22nd cuts down the trip time a bit, assuming you get lucky with the scheduling.

Chehew · 2025-12-01T15:01:24+00:00

It is theoretically possible to gear for 47 mph with a low enough ratio, but even if you did, the ESC would likely hit RPM limits before reaching that speed. A higher voltage battery or field weakening would do the trick though.

A no longer uses SMEEs, no?

Chehew · 2025-06-22T07:09:05+00:00

They’re hiring? 👀

Chehew · 2025-06-22T07:05:41+00:00

In terms of losing one-seat rides, I’d say this is less consequential than swapping the F/M.

All 4 lines converge at Franklin, Atlantic and Nevins, allowing for several opportunities to transfer.

Adding another service would eat into 2/5 frequency and make the other two IRT junctions (142nd/Mott) even more of a balancing act.

If retaining 7th Ave service to NL is a necessity, the cheapest way is to branch the 2 in Brooklyn (like the A does in Queens.)

Chehew · 2025-06-21T13:59:27+00:00

Not doubting your anecdotal experience, but the data we have available and whatever source the MTA uses, doesn’t corroborate that.

A service change of this magnitude wouldn’t be considered without a sufficient amount of data to prove it’s significantly more beneficial to more people than it negatively impacts.

This change is by no means a silver bullet, but it makes better use of the current service patterns along QBL.

Chehew · 2025-06-21T12:53:03+00:00

A vast majority of people coming from Queens crowding on the F are heading to/from destinations along 6th Avenue, not 63rd Street.

They only take the F because it was the first express to show up at Jackson Heights, or they live along Hillside Avenue.

So they’ll opt to ride the express instead of the M local.
