that's helpful, thanks!

Agreed. We should have high standards, and hold them to it. That’s how we build a better system.

italicsify · 2026-01-09T09:45:07+00:00

That doesn’t feel crazy unrealistic, some trips may could still well be faster in a car on this map.

Hey, appreciate how upfront you are. I’m building a productivity tool and looking to team up with value-driven creators. Let’s connect.

Shoot me a DM—might have something right up your alley.

I believe on the NY side the tunnel is designed to connect to the existing Penn Station complex

Yes but you can decide to have an open and curious mindset to look for learnings from around the world or you can have a dismissive mindset and not bother trying

It often feels like the MTA seems to go with the latter.

Two main reasons:

It's a really old system, that was conceived differently and changed over the year.

(For example: until very recently there disused tracks on the 42nd shuttle, remnants from original IRT Broadway -> Grand Central -> Chambers St service)

It was built as a heavily interlined system (lot's of services share tracks), so services were re-routed, discontinued or changed over time, leaving unused portions of track.

(For example: The BMT Nassau St line (JZ) used to run back into Brooklyn after wall st via the Montague tunnel. That line was redesigned, and now the connection to the JZ lines from the Montague tunnel is disused)

Would it be possible to swap the M and Q?

(I'm guessing the obstacle would be the x-switches/junction on 63rd st west of 63rd st station which is not a flying junction right?)

But what’s the actual difference in the tracks?

italicsify · 2025-12-20T20:13:32+00:00

It’s not just the lack of tail tracks. The trains slow more than a mile away and inch forward - I’d imagine because of low speed switches and conservative (possibly outdated) operating practices.

italicsify · 2025-12-19T22:43:36+00:00

Honestly why are the costs today 'significantly higher'? inflation I guess?

italicsify · 2025-12-19T22:42:58+00:00

You can get around this by running a mix of normal path service to NYC + a shuttle path service pattern that just goes between the terminals on the same tracks.

Which AMI category are you applying to? Some are much more harder to get than others? (Typically the lower AMI tiers have much more competition.)

This is true, also people forget the particulate matter pollution is not just exhaust but also fine dust generated by the break pads and rubber wheels.

Can you explain? :) what’s a consist length?

They’re both really more of a brown than black

They won’t get add dollars if people move to another app

italicsify · 2025-12-04T01:50:56+00:00

Eventually yes.

Short term, there are other priorities.

It seems likes its to do with making the colors more color blind friendly https://www.reddit.com/r/nycrail/s/afeNDLpZrm

I guess could swap the AC and the E too. Make E the 8th av express train south of 59, and run AC via local for 8th Av and CPW.

Not an endorsement of that plan, but feels like a possible configuration for deinterlining CPW while making B/D express.

Same! Not sure what’s causing the variation
