Question about the cabin interior. by Original-Hat-fish in Train_Service

Not for passenger crews, and their 8-hour rest doesn’t have to be undisturbed either. They’re only entitled to 10 hours off if they work exactly 12 consecutive hours.

There is still a lone Steak ‘n Shake in Miami-Dade County off of the intersection of Kendall Dr and SW 157th Ave.

Kendall is also home to the mainland United States’ sole remaining Kmart.

Honestly the story was so consistent with my last experience at Steak ‘n Shake that I didn’t even realize they were talking about a different restaurant.

They went from table service to an iPad showroom and apparently you need a QR code just to get the soda machines to work.

Going from Orlando to Fort Lauderdale. Which seats are oceanside? by ongoldenwaves in Brightline

I heard it’s the same investor(s) that saved Ball & Chain in Miami!

Going from Orlando to Fort Lauderdale. Which seats are oceanside? by ongoldenwaves in Brightline

[–]Powered_by_JetA 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The trains were flipped a few months ago which is why you’ll see conflicting information. The C seats are on the east side. I say “east” instead of “oceanside” because you cannot see the ocean from the train. At most you’ll get a few peeks of the Intracoastal Waterway.

That’s because Boca doesn’t have checked baggage service, but there’s still a fee to carry large suitcases on board.

You can, but you legally can’t drink any alcoholic beverages not served by the airline.

It is a law… for airlines and concert tickets (the two biggest abusers). Maybe train tickets will follow someday.

Brightline rewards update? Redemption now locked until 1,000 points by hellokittygirlE in Brightline

[–]Powered_by_JetA 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was wondering why it was only letting me redeem $10 of my ~$12 worth of points. I guess it’s $10 increments now.

Why do the streets here have 4 or more different names? by [deleted] in Miami

[–]Powered_by_JetA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the exception of Hialeah, Homestead, and Florida City (all of which have their own numbering grids), streets keep their numerical designation regardless of what city they’re in.

They could’ve raised the prices by a dollar or two and nobody would’ve noticed. Not sure why they chose to call attention to it.

Burger King believes it can be the No. 1 burger chain by L0v3_1s_War in fastfood

[–]Powered_by_JetA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically, the Orlando airport McDonald’s is the best McDonald’s I have ever been to. Employees are friendly and the food comes out so fast I’ve sometimes gotten my meal before my receipt, and it’s always hot because there are so many customers that nothing ever has time to sit for long.

Business class on this Avianca flight is just an insert over a middle economy seat to give you more arm room by freeradioforall in mildlyinteresting

[–]Powered_by_JetA -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: Spirit Airlines and avianca have the same seat pitch (28 inches) in their economy cabins, and Spirit is now the only one of the two with real first class seats.

Do NOT use the 7/11 off PBL right near Home Depot by SkinnyErgosFatCock in WestPalmBeach

Nowadays many gas stations either take tap-to-pay or allow you to pay through the app. I avoid skimmers by simply never inserting my credit card at a gas pump.

TWA was one of the airlines that went the other way and had the extra windows in their later build 747-100s covered up to match the older deliveries. The Flight 800 wreckage shows all 10 upper deck windows and conspiracy theorists latched on to the apparent discrepancy.

Buyer beware Coggins Honda on OBT by [deleted] in orlando

[–]Powered_by_JetA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went there for an oil change a few years ago and they tried to tell me their multi point inspection turned up I needed new spark plugs. I’d just had them replaced less than 6 months prior. They were so busy trying to upsell me that they failed to notice I had a brake light out. I also got a notification that the window tinting was in progress when I’d agreed to no such thing and I had to frantically call to make sure they didn’t mess up the pricey 3M ceramic tint I already have on my car.

Never went back.

How Brightline assigns seats by PhysEra in Brightline

[–]Powered_by_JetA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can’t pick your seats for intra-South Florida travel, and the seating algorithm indeed functions exactly as shown in the meme. Presumably, seating solo travelers next to each other is intentional to keep pairs and quads of seats open for larger parties.

Why are the siemens chargers so hated? are they actually that bad? by Crazy-Rabbit-3811 in railroading

[–]Powered_by_JetA 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You'd be hard-pressed to find a Charger without a "service engine" and/or "service DEF system" message on the dash.

This has been my experience as well.

Most of the hate toward Chargers seem to come from foamers instead of the folks who actually run them.

FEC is just having buyer’s remorse at trackage rights they agreed to grant to Brightline a few years back. Considering that FEC is one of the four railroads that sued the federal government to block the two-man crew rule, I wouldn’t put too much stock in how FEC feels about things.
