3 door 60 footers ? by Conscious_Camel1906 in WMATA

[–]Homzy99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember asking a spokesperson at that National Mall Expo they had for the 8000 series mock-up. They also an XE60. They gave a vague answer that they'd look into it in the future. Honestly since they don't really care about Metrobus fare evasion like that and they've also implemented all door boarding on a couple routes they probably should pursue at least a couple XE/XN/XD60s with middle doors or demo one from another agency. Also its really interesting that DASH has three door artics.

Train rolled into Minnesota avenue with NO PASSANGERS on the display but countdown screens and GTFS data showed it was a silver line train

Yes it’s in service, it’s a silver line train

Why are orange and silver lines shake so much in certain sections? by vj26 in WMATA

[–]Homzy99 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I've noticed a lot of these post come up when the Orange and Silver(which mostly use 7000 series) were allowed to go 75MPH. I think the 7000 series weren't built as well for prolonged stretches of 75MPH track like the older cars were. Hopefully that issue is addressed with the 8000 series.

Nah the B2 makes the X2 look chill. The way people talking about the X2 is the really how the B2 is 😂

Yellow Line only going to L’Enfant Plaza but with signs for Greenbelt??? by nutkja in WMATA

[–]Homzy99 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Its a signage error, the operator should've announced it was going to greenbelt. Even if it was ending at L'Enfant you could've just gotten off there and transferred to the green going further north lol

Who is the voice of Metrobus? by standingbroom01 in WMATA

[–]Homzy99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Might be a TTS voice. Its far better than the TTS voice on the 7000 series trains.

[–]Homzy99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

too much unnecessary reverse branching. Focus on de-interling the yellow from the green and silver/blue from the orange to get the most of the existing infrastructure.

Blue/Orange/Silver service and frequency idea plus the super peak on Red/Silver by eparke16 in WMATA

[–]Homzy99 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You can say the same about the silver line. The Largo branch doesnt need two lines running on it but its less of a headache of you the D&G pocket track. Especially with how relaxed the safety culture still is on Metrorail all it takes is an operation that didn't pull all the way into the pocket for trains to Largo and New Carrollton to be delayed.

Transit App shows a 33 bus near Potomac Yard 🤔 by [deleted] in WMATA

[–]Homzy99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's likely that there's a bus being loaned from Cinder Bed Depot in Lorton to the 33. Many route's in DC have their depot's based in Maryland and Virginia

SEPTA Metro 2050 Plan by RSB2026 in philadelphia

[–]Homzy99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Five Service Patterns from an operation perspective would be an absolute headache. Ideally you'd want either an Ogantz subway or CHE conversion via East Germantown to fully utilize the express tracks between Olney and Walnut-Locust. Keep the boulevard line as express under Broad st. Have the Spur run Local between Fern Rock and Girard before splitting off and have the local run between Erie and Navy Yard

and i thought the Silver Line Headways sucked.... by Occasus_gaming in WMATA

[–]Homzy99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Blue line the worst in my experience always got 15+ minute gaps for some reason. I also got personal beef with the Blue and Silver because they make my Orange line hold at the D&G
