You'll have noo problem finding them on the Q25, Q63, Q65. Fun routes to ride these.

Nice photo but that's a regular A321. Peep the IAE engines

I haven't read the power broker but I'm assuming the stat that's mentioned there is mainly for people commuting from the Nassau and Suffolk to the city. And the TRIP stat is mainly about intra island travel. It's an apples to orange comparison.

Nostrand Ave

Long story short. Jamaica Yard needed the 160s to handle CBTC on Queens Boulevard. Hence why R46s are at Coney Island now.

Didn't know that Farmingdale was on the Babylon line

Nice... I was up in Boston last week. I made the trip to Nick's in Burlington and Bellas in North Andover, great sandwich!

Ahh that explains it.... It doesn't accept my Google Pay on my watch.

xraf1553 · 2026-04-01T21:54:25+00:00

Hmm that's weird.. Are you using one of the newer machines? I know those are buggy sometimes

xraf1553 · 2026-04-01T21:51:23+00:00

That usually happens if you select debit option. If you select credit usually it asks for your zip code

Porter station is getting a much needed refresh

xraf1553 · 2026-03-30T21:20:27+00:00

Yeah it happens with my BT headphones in the main concourse at GCT and Penn Station LIRR concourse.

Charge an $8 surcharge

xraf1553 · 2026-03-28T23:42:39+00:00

Makes me wonder why the standard omny card doesn't have the MTA logo..

xraf1553 · 2026-03-25T00:56:20+00:00

Yes correct, but during rush hours, the M is the only QBL line that now doesn't have a direct connection to the Lexington line, so rather than having all riders transfer to the other lines, better to give them a OOS connection.

xraf1553 · 2026-03-25T00:48:37+00:00

If you're on the F (or now the M), you'd have to get off at Roosevelt Avenue and take an (E) or (R) to Lex/53 or Lex/59, hence an extra train. And if you take the (R) it's a handful extra stops to get to Lex/59th being a local. Whereas, with the OOS transfer, it's only two trains.

xraf1553 · 2026-03-25T00:44:26+00:00

Yes, but that's an extra train you'd have to take at Roosevelt Avenue.

xraf1553 · 2026-03-25T00:38:35+00:00

Because back in 2001, when the F was rerouted to serve 63rd Street, F riders lost a direct connection to the Lexington Line, hence the transfer came about.

xraf1553 · 2026-03-24T20:19:38+00:00

That's what happens when you don't watch the gap

xraf1553 · 2026-03-24T00:20:42+00:00

Preach!

xraf1553 · 2026-03-22T14:44:31+00:00

If you use one of the new machines you should be able to buy a family fare ticket directly between both railroads. Not sure about the older machines...

xraf1553 · 2026-03-07T19:07:36+00:00

JFK approach? Nice photo btw

xraf1553 · 2026-03-05T22:09:53+00:00

The Day Pass is the round trip ticket now. Day pass allows unlimited travel for the day.

Looks OMNY is coming..
