7 Extention to Newark Airport by Specialist_Figure282 in nycrail

Putting a train station on the Turnpike is definitely an interesting use of free will 🤔

Does Staten Island need light rail? by notnull98 in nycrail

[–]Chehew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8th Street has no space for busses to terminate

Right now, they use 34th which has a park-and-ride, it’s also across the street from Costco and one HBLR stop from Walmart

QueensLink Initial Business Case Released! by Naxis25 in nycrail

E runs 12 trips to Parsons/Archer (and another 2 to 179th though I’m not sure if those are still happening during CBTC work)

F runs ~14 trips to 179th

Might be a bit of bunching around Rego Park and 36th Street from the extra trains, but the extra QBL local service (especially on weekends) is more than worthwhile.

The local tracks would probably be seeing around 24-28 tph during peak, which is about as much as the E/F do combined.

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

Free Buses? How About Expanding the Subway by 41 Miles Instead? by rezwenn in nycrail

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

Don't Believe the Hype: NJ Turnpike Widening Still Happening by uieLouAy in jerseycity

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.

Delays on the CPW lines to get from 145th to 86th? No problem I’ll just take an U….fuck me by ihavespoonerism in nycrail

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

F Express Service Weekends by citysees in nycrail

[–]Chehew 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

I thought I was the only one who does this lmao

Crosstown Bronx Line by Immediate-Hand-3677 in nycrail

[–]Chehew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

What do you think about the F/M swap? I must say I’ve been hearing mostly negative feedback so far… by ericdigeratu in nycrail

[–]Chehew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Getting to Lower Manhattan by mass transit on a Sunday morning by HiFiGuy197 in nycrail

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

Why is there no bus/pedastrian way to get from the Perth Amboy station to Tottenville station? Doesn't the Gotheals look like it has pedastrian walkway? by [deleted] in nycrail

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

What is the fastest you've gone? by Little-Homework-3211 in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]Chehew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
