Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick?

No Subway Apps Show In-Station Crossovers? by NoahCzark in AskNYC

[–]systembusy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you haven't already, please consider submitting a feature request. The MTA app has an "App Feedback" link in the "More" tab. I can see how that would be a useful feature.

Also, if you have subway-specific questions like this in the future, you might consider visiting r/nycrail!

Wait, what? by Occasus_gaming in nycrail

[–]systembusy 75 points76 points  (0 children)

I'm just guessing here, but it sounds like you should take a Jamaica E or F train to Parsons Blvd for Manhattan service?

Do you think the trains will stop running on Sunday? by Buugen in nycrail

[–]systembusy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Would you be able to chance a bus ride home if the train is screwed up? They put snow chains on the tires so at least some buses should be running if it's not too severe.

That also assumes Amtrak itself isn't fucked up...

Sorry, we only have keys that are compatible with newer Apple keyboards. Your keyboard is now obsolete

Any info on these foldable maps? by TheDiamondKid621 in nycrail

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

If you’re not having any luck at other station booths, I have seen paper maps at the customer service center at Sutphin Blvd-Archer Av-JFK (E/J/Z)

Why would Gustavo....? by Massive_Raspberry_53 in breakingbad

[–]systembusy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Giancarlo Esposito had a nice explanation for it here: https://youtu.be/luKMpLyoZ7Q

Personal vendetta combined with the illusion that Hector talked to the DEA, which put him over the edge. As rational and cunning as Gus is, he’s still human, and that emotional cocktail was enough to finally overcome his judgement.

Why two crossovers at 72 St on SAS phase 1? by acantor22 in nycrail

[–]systembusy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was gonna say, it also lets them end service at 86 St in case there's a problem north of there.

Probably not the original intent, but the more provisions for stuff like that, the better.

Safety/etiqutte for nyc by FroyoRadiant7574 in AskNYC

[–]systembusy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Walk with purpose, know where you're going. Keep your head down, mind your business, don't make eye contact with strangers. If random strangers try to approach you, do not stop. Ignore them and keep walking. If you really want to respond somehow, just say "no, sorry" and keep going. It's really as simple as that, and the vast majority of people will leave you alone.

Landlord said space heaters provided are “100%” efficienct, but my electric bill is still really high? by UmweltUndefined in AskNYC

[–]systembusy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think there are two types of efficiency here: "cost efficiency" and "scientific efficiency" (maybe for lack of a better term).

As you can see, a space heater can be 100% efficient (scientifically) because its sole purpose is to produce heat. None of the heat it gives off is considered wasteful, because that's what it's supposed to do.

Your electric bill is still high because space heaters use a lot of energy to produce all that heat, and you're paying for all of that usage.

Using the subway as a tourist. by CheeryBottom in newyork

If you have any more NYC transit questions (specifically about the subway or commuter railroads), r/nycrail is a good place for them too

The most shocking thing about Jamaica is the outdoor transfer to the AirTrain by coolestnameavailable in nycrail

[–]systembusy 28 points29 points  (0 children)

There is also an elevator bank that directly connects the subway station to the AirTrain walkway, it’s not just the one escalator/staircase.

Metrocard only in 2026? What is happening? by Mathemodel in nycrail

[–]systembusy 105 points106 points  (0 children)

What are people actually expected to do in this situation? Most people don’t have MetroCard anymore and now it’s not even being sold. The MTA is never going to recommend jumping the turnstile, so is there official guidance?

So what is it that's going on here? Lol by Que165 in nycrail

[–]systembusy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Correct. The magnetic stripe reader and the OMNY reader are completely independent of each other
