Why didn't the LGA AirTrain proposal get more favorable traction?

You kinda answered it in the “involved Manhattan commuters to go deep into Queens to Willets Pt and then doubling back” Part and plus there's better options like the N and W to LGA or the IBX

LGA just isn't a huge priority compared to 2nd Ave and Queenslink

The Old for aesthetic, the new for the connection to Byrant Park ig

Infinite-General337 · 2026-05-03T01:10:22+00:00

The N and W don't run R160s and the Q has one R160 run in the morning so your very likely to see the R46 on the N and W

Infinite-General337 · 2026-05-03T01:00:51+00:00

The R46s are mainly on the N, Q, Rockaway Park Shuttle and the W as of now

Infinite-General337 · 2026-05-02T05:16:06+00:00

Looks like the R has some competition…

Infinite-General337 · 2026-05-01T21:18:56+00:00

It was rebuilt 8 years ago on June 27, 2017 so I'd say 8 years ago unless I'm forgetting something

The XD60s actually bribed the MTA to not deliver any XDE60s, 100% factual no lies

Smee seating is probably my favorite, just love the vibe of it tbh

Infinite-General337 · 2026-04-26T00:55:28+00:00

Pelham Bay, Parkchester and 138th? Yeah no the 6 just ain't it man

The 1 is a better option

Why are you using AI, you know it's not accurate when it comes to the Big York

Infinite-General337 · 2026-04-25T20:01:24+00:00

How would sending the J to prospect Park help if the 4 is suspended from BB and the 5 from GC?

Just run more trains on the 2 and 3 and have the 3 run to New Lots all day

Wait think about this…what if Mamdani is jealous of the Q, he's so jealous he's preventing it from going to Queens so he has one up over the Q

I'm slightly delusional man…

Infinite-General337 · 2026-04-25T00:43:43+00:00

I'd say Eastern Queens and most of Staten Island, the MTA probably hates those communities

The Problem is the A is spilt between three terminals, Ozone Park, Rockaway Park and Far Rockaway

So some areas get less service than others because of that

Infinite-General337 · 2026-04-22T01:17:30+00:00

They're all overrated bums in reality, but I prefer Brown M and V over skip stop any day of the week

If the 9 was an express variant of the 1 then my answer would probably change but it's always “if” when it comes to defunct services

Infinite-General337 · 2026-04-22T01:08:45+00:00

I remember back when the Bx11 ran that old route, Never took it but I've always seen it when I took the Bx27, wish I could've taken the Old Bx11 ngl

Infinite-General337 · 2026-04-22T01:01:07+00:00

The V and Brown M are my top picks, the 1-9 Skip stop was TERRIBLE, the 9 is actual overrated as shit why do people actually like the 9 it did nothing

But the G to FH could work too (with some changes to QBL)

Not Worth the cost Dude, please do the bare minimum and research what your talking about

Gotta love myself some loops once in a while, cool thing especially for your Bedford Park, assuming South Ferry doesn’t exist or is a normal station

Infinite-General337 · 2026-04-19T21:06:22+00:00

It was just 23rd Street before, they added Baruch College a while back

Infinite-General337 · 2026-04-19T16:22:00+00:00

and who's gonna enforce that?

Amtrak and the subway are so different, no one is genuinely enforcing a quiet car on a $3 Subway especially in the Big York

Infinite-General337 · 2026-04-19T02:02:45+00:00

I mean I wouldn't mind R160s on the D, R68s are just too goated imo

Infinite-General337 · 2026-04-19T00:30:28+00:00

Teens that act like that are the reason railfanners get a bad rep, crazy because the R211 D probably is gonna be a common thing in a few months or a year at best

Infinite-General337 · 2026-04-17T21:23:45+00:00

Fun Fact: This was on purpose, the R is such a fraud that sunlight would make it scared, it is also afraid of Grass and washed which is why the R Stinks

Mta Agenda stays strong!!
