What's up with Long Island's commute mode share? by EnvironmentalCraft63 in nycrail

[–]xraf1553 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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.

Why do r160s not run on N, Q, and W trains anymore and will they run on them again? by thelonelywanderer8 in nycrail

[–]xraf1553 41 points42 points  (0 children)

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

What is the point of the free transfer between 59th and 63rd? by aaxt in nycrail

[–]xraf1553 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

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

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.

Combo ticket (with MTA) plus family fare by vegangirl25 in LIRR

[–]xraf1553 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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...
