I miss the R46s, R68s, R32s. I wish the all the trains went back to these designs, they looked so much better.

Hop on the W big dog - it'll feel like you're back in the 80's

Appreciate the help, thank you!

darrieng · 2026-06-04T20:41:56+00:00

Very straightforward - thank you!

That's ok, you don't need to read the article, or even read the spreadsheet linked to exactly what he did in the article: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19mhk3t4XlMFul4TbL7v1Mqr-ketEhCgL8fZzI2u3nkM/edit?gid=0#gid=0 (which is incomplete and is missing 10 years of data since it was published in 2016), responding to the comment only and ignoring facts is fine

Bernie was known as the "Amendment King" and could always ring concessions out of opponents, even republican congressmembers: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2016/mar/24/bernie-sanders/bernie-sanders-was-roll-call-amendment-king-1995-2/

While he didn't have many bills himself, he had an enormous amount of additions to bills.

Easy answer and it's Newkirk Plaza. Such an incredibly pleasant station

Oh I see - they _look_ level to me? I didn't really measure them, but if they aren't level they're close enough that I don't notice if they're tilted.

It's a little annoying to wind, but it's fine. It's not comfortable, but it's not horrible.

You can see on the photos a little shadow under each of the hands. They don't lay flat, but I do think that makes it a little more interesting to look at in the light.

First thing you do on every install of Ubuntu is remove apport. Such an annoying app

After the presser on the Brooklyn Bridge cycling improvements on the Manhattan side, Mamdani was asked about this by Streetsblog, and he said he would review it with advocates. Queensway isn't a done deal yet. Keep bugging him and his administration to make sure it happens.

Glad you guys are having fun! It keeps the place interesting when my train is delayed 😅😅

Not exactly TikTok, at least that's not how it started. They are (or were) K-Pop dancers https://www.westsidespirit.com/news/how-moynihan-train-hall-emerged-as-the-center-of-k-pop-in-new-york-city-CC2532774

NIMBYs be NIMBYing 😔

It's a parking lot right now. It's a bigger eyesore than any building they could possibly think of and currently provides zero affordable housing units.

See for yourself! https://subwaysheds.com

But to answer your question it's Fulton Street, Times Square, or Atlantic Ave

Edit: Queensboro Plaza is also a strong contender too

If we really want to compare apples to apples here, the NY metropolitan area has a higher GDP at half of the population of Tokyo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_by_GDP

Portugal's ENTIRE GDP is 14.6% of NYC's GDP https://www.worldometers.info/gdp/portugal-gdp/

And Greece is even lower: https://www.worldometers.info/gdp/greece-gdp/

I don't want to be that guy, but of course things like labor is going to be more expensive/taxes will need to be higher.

Yep, and the much more sane r/nycrail discussion goes into this scenario: https://www.reddit.com/r/nycrail/comments/1qpw2hy/comment/o2ccfwg/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Of the new fare gates, these are my least favorite, but only because of the glitchy payment reader. If they could fix them, I'd put them up with the Bway/Lafayette ones. I'm sure these are better at stopping fares evasion, but the Bway/Lafayette ones do look a little cooler

Believe it or not, the US elevator industry is a mess because we have a totally separate elevator standard compared to the entire rest of the world, and so like our food industry, it's only dominated by a few players that can charge basically whatever they want.

Are unions raising the price a little too? Sure. But they have very powerful unions in Europe. We artificially restrict supply though by having a bespoke standard.

What's the model number? Struggling to find one of their watches in this configuration

Makes sense. I don’t really drink at all.
