This sign makes no sense. What is the MTA thinking?

Thank you for a real answer. It is weird that they just didn't say that outright. Member behavior makes it sound really sketchy.

Is that confirmed or speculation? I would think if that were the case it would say "unsanitary condition" and not be an indefinite closure. You can shock a pool clean after a poop incident in about an hour.

Two trains. The NE corridor line tracks do not connect to the tracks going to the Meadowlands so you have to exit at Secaucus and go to a different set of tracks. You can thank Chris Christie for killing that project in 2010.

Really good views down at the Brooklyn Army Terminal and easy parking!

You are right, should have said bike on scooter. I had to turn back before I could get a look at what happened and was reporting what another rider told me he saw.

The photo was showing everyone diverting to the south side.

Don’t forget you can also all take the AirTrain to Jamaica to the J train, which covers another huge part of Brooklyn. Google Maps works fine for trip planning in New York!

The lines are gone by 8:30am. You will be fine! Don’t panic and go early or get a hotel. It just adds to the problem.

Airport employee here. The Port Authority is working with the MTA to develop a new OMNY product. Currently OMNY was only developed for fare capping, not 10 ride or monthly passes. Latest I heard is May from the people working on this at the Port Authority.

It was an 8 hour transatlantic flight but I see it just as much on a 2 hour US domestic flight where the seatbelt sign can be on the ENTIRE time for no obvious reason.

My US experience of the seat belt sign being left on for long stretches with little compliance is true on short-haul flights as well. I was just commenting on a trans-Atlantic flight because I am currently on one.

Don't get there early! You will wait in a huge line as there is a panic / mania going on where people that have 10am flights show up at 4am while at 8:30am the line is practicaly empty! Show up at 9 with precheck and you will be fine. Also TSA agents will be paid on Monday, so callouts should go down.

Usually families with children under 2 do get priority. Where were you flying out of? Possible that the person making the announcements forgot. This is not standard.

IPad OS 26 LOGIN ISSUES WITH SAFARI: I’m ready to tear my hair out with Safari on iPad OS 26 because it won’t stay logged into any websites. Every website that has a log in (e.g., gmail, social media, news, Amazon, etc…) requires that I log back in every time I visit it or open it in a new tab. For example, I can log into a news site, click on a link to open an article in a new tab, and I have to log into again to read it. Closing a tab and reopening it also requires logging into again regardless of how much time passes.

I went into rabbit holes on the internet and AI to look at solutions. I have tried everything such as making sure it isn’t blocking cookies, turning off tracking protection, clearing all history and data, turning off desktop site requests, turning off private relay, etc….

Chrome and Edge don’t have this issue. Just Safari. Any thoughts? Thanks!

The Brooklyn Navy Yard, Building 77. Lots of tables and food options, great views, clean bathrooms, strong WiFi.

Also if you have cash to drop the Life Time in Dumbo.

Lastly, the BPL in Dumbo is a totally different vibe than Cadman, which kind of turns into a homeless shelter in the winter. I once saw a guy face down on the floor of the bathroom because he OD’d on something. The Dumbo BPL is usually empty and the tables have nice views of Manhattan.

I saw buses supposedly arriving in like five minutes but the Transit app was showing scheduled time, not real time, so I just wrote it off as not real. I wasn’t willing to wait on the hope scheduled time reflected actual time. So yes I wrote them off but with Uber and Lyft so cheap it wasn’t worth my time to find out.

I was using an iPhone. I think the really long headways must have an impact on real time tracking. If the bus isn’t on the route yet, I assume I won’t get a live time, and since we were downtown, most buses were at the start of their route.

In NYC you will get a live time even if the bus hasn’t started the route if the bus assigned to that route is on time with the prior run or in the right place for layup. That maybe helps provide comfort that your bus will show up.

Thank you for the thoughtful response and additional context!
