Posted February 16, 201312 yr I skimmed through the current topics on the Mass Transit board and didn't see a similar thread, so I thought I'd create a catch-all thread for news and discussion regarding transit in the New York City area. Topics of discussion include news regarding: Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA): NYC Transit, Long Island Rail Road, Metro North Railroad, and MTA bus service The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey: PATH, AirTrain, NYC-area airports, and the Port Authority Bus Terminal NJ Transit: Commuter rail, Hudson-Bergen Light Rail, Newark City Subway, local bus service in New Jersey Amtrak news specific to the NYC region. Have at it...
February 16, 201312 yr Author To start things off with a bang, the MTA has posted some incredible photos of the excavation work for the East Side Access Project, which involves the creation of new commuter rail tunnels from Long Island to Midtown Manhattan, and a new station directly underneath Grand Central Terminal. This will allow LIRR trains to access GCT for the first time. The photos are by the MTA's Patrick Cashin. Full gallery on the MTA's Facebook page
June 23, 201410 yr I can't top the East Side Access photos posted above, but I thought this one was pretty cool. It's the abandoned but still beautiful City Hall subway station on the #6 line. The station was opened for tours this past weekend, and some photos were shared via Twitter. Unfortunately the lack of ridership, the nearby Brooklyn Bridge station, and a short platform forced the station's closure in 1956. It will probably never reopen owing to the tight curve which makes it impossible for people to safely "mind the gap" between platform and train, let alone be ADA compliant! So here it sits..... That's the station on the loop, at upper-left..... "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck

Well when the IRT, extended station platforms they had to close some stations. The Brooklyn Bridge Station is shoe horned between IRT (4/5/6) City Hall station and the BMT (N/R/Q) City Hall Station. The IRT BB and City Hall Stations are closer together Than Shaker Square and Drexmore. Imagine if there was another entrance to the Shaker Rapid at the SS Cinemas. Thats how close these two stations are to one another. You can actually see down into the station from City Hall Park. The City Hall Station like the IRT (1) original South Ferry Station is a loop. These stations don't fit the IRT 8 or 10 car trains. There are a few other IRT stations that cannot handle full cars, like 145 St./Lenox. In addtion, the IRT Worth Station was closed when Brooklyn Bridge was extended and connected to the BMT (N/M/R) City Hall Station. We've done some commercials and PSA sin this station as it's not a revenue station and it's now gorgeous. First time I was in there it was a graffiti filled rat infested homeless nest!
October 27, 201410 yr from mta: More Than 6 Million Customers Ride Subways on Five Separate Days in September October 22nd, 2014 Ridership is breaking records on our subways. The system reached unprecedented milestones in September, breaking the previous single-day ridership record five times in a single month. Newly available figures show 6,106,694 customers rode the subway on Tuesday, Sept. 23, making it the highest ridership ever since daily figures were first recorded in 1985. Four other September days also saw more than 6 million customers, and the 149 million customers over the month were more than in any other September in more than 60 years. “New Yorkers and visitors alike continue to vote with their feet, recognizing that riding the subway is the most efficient way to get around town,” said MTA Chairman and CEO Thomas F. Prendergast. “This is a phenomenal achievement for a system that carried 3.6 million daily customers just 20 years ago. As ridership increases, the MTA Capital Program is vital to fund new subway cars, higher-capacity signal systems and improved stations to meet our customers’ growing needs and rising expectations.” Subway ridership has grown steadily in recent years, approaching levels last seen during the World War II era when the subway network included more elevated lines, many customers were counted twice as they transferred between different systems, and far fewer New Yorkers owned cars. The previous ridership record of 5,987,595 was set Thursday, Oct. 24, 2013. The five record-breaking dates in September were: • Sept. 23, 2014 6,106,694 • Sept. 18, 2014 6,094,684 • Sept. 19, 2014 6,073,580 • Sept. 17, 2014 6,051,863 • Sept. 10, 2014 6,012,270 Record-breaking ridership was recorded on September weekends as well. Fueled by ridership generated by the People’s Climate March, 2,953,948 customers rode the subway on Sunday, Sept. 21, 2014. This was the highest Sunday ridership since daily records began in 1985 and likely the highest since the late 1940s. “The trend towards increasing ridership is not expected to slow down. Improved transit services, combined with a growing population and an improved economy, have resulted in the strongest subway ridership growth occurring among discretionary riders and during off-peak times,” said MTA New York City Transit President Carmen Bianco. “This presents new challenges for maintaining and improving a system that operates around the clock, while introducing important innovations for our customers such as countdown clocks, Help Point intercoms and a new fare payment system.”
October 27, 201410 yr more from mta: MTA New York City Transit’s Subway System Enjoys New Vigor at 110 October 24th, 2014 October 27th, 2014 marks the 110th anniversary of the subway system. The first train ran north from City Hall to 145th Street and Broadway. The system that now benefits 5.8 million daily customers sprang from a single line that didn’t leave the confines of Manhattan. The system has grown into a four-borough operation that each day moves more than double the population of Chicago. Trains running along 24 lines feed the City’s schools, businesses and recreational venues. New York could not be the 24/7 City it is today without the MTA New York City subway and the system will continue to nurture the City’s growth far into the future. For a period in the 1970s and 1980s, however, the subway slipped into a state of decay. A prolonged lack of investment caused an historic level of deterioration. Track fires, train derailments and equipment breakdowns were daily events and the engine that drove New York sputtered and turned into a graffiti-scarred mess. A fresh leadership team, however, demonstrated a commitment to improving the moribund system. The resulting resurgence was funded by the first of the MTA’s Capital Plans. The combination of vision and cash, $100 million so far, managed to reverse the downward trend and breathe new life into the transit system. Today, the MTA is working on future improvements and expansion projects that will carry us through the next 100 plus years. The City’s population is growing and transit ridership is rising right along with it. In fact, there were five days in September, 2014 when ridership broke the six-million customer mark. Currently, there are several projects to push the system forward, either in progress, nearing completion or in the planning stages. The extension of the 7 to the West Side of Manhattan, Fulton Center Complex, the installation of new signaling systems and the ongoing Superstorm Sandy Fix & Fortify program work all combine to further strengthen the system so that it will support the City’s future needs. A new generation subway car is now on the drawing board. This fleet will introduce vehicles with greater capacity, higher levels of reliability and increased levels of customer comfort over current trains. Their durability will insure that they offer dependable service for many decades into the future. As the City grows, we will continue to grow with it. The subway and the City is a symbiotic relationship that benefits the entire region, and keeps us a world leader.
January 4, 20187 yr Longform article on the subway today in NYT Magazine. I've only skimmed it so far but it gets into the history and future of the system and some great photos as well. The Case for the Subway It built the city. Now, no matter the cost — at least $100 billion — the city must rebuild it to survive. By JONATHAN MAHLER AN. 3, 2018 Long before it became an archaic, filthy, profligate symbol of everything wrong with our broken cities, New York’s subway was a marvel — a mad feat of engineering and an audacious gamble on a preposterously ambitious vision. “The effect it is to have on the city of New York is something larger than any mind can realize,” said William Gaynor, the New York mayor who set in motion the primary phase of its construction. A public-works project of this scale had never before been undertaken in the United States, and even now, more than a century later, it is hard to fully appreciate what it did for the city and, really, the nation.

April 17, 20196 yr For all the crap MTA has gotten in planning circles recently I was still really impressed when I was in the city a couple weeks ago. I mean, I guess I have a low bar coming from Ohio, but the trains seemed efficient enough and the newer buses in the fleet were incredibly nice. “To an Ohio resident - wherever he lives - some other part of his state seems unreal.”

If built in this fashion, the 116th St. station is going to be an anomaly not just on the Second Ave. line but for the entire system. It's unclear to me, looking at these images, if they're going to be able to keep the walls between the center and outer tracks intact or if there won't be enough space to enable efficient boarding. It looks to me like they're going to have to take the roof you see here off in order to build a mez: Yeah, those openings look a little too short, aside from being too close together. Add 50" to where these guys are standing and they'd be hitting their heads to board trains.
April 17, 20196 yr They would retro fit the station and reduce from 3 tracks to two. So one of the outer tracks would be platforms on this already complete 10 block section. This section runs from E 110-120.

January 22, 20205 yr open gangway trains are finally on the way for ny subways. Open-gangway subway trains a ‘departure’ from traditional NYC rolling-stock Mark Hallum The MTA is preparing to introduce a whole new breed of subway trains the agency says will make alleviate some crowding for New Yorkers. After awarding a $1.4 billion contract to Kawasaki Rail Car Inc., New York City Transit announced that 535 of the R211 cars will be brought into service in 2020 and 2021. Next year, commuters will get wider doors and open-gangways on trains, which the MTA says will give people more room to get on and off the car as well as more room to stand. The open-gangways will be in service in 2021, according to the MTA. more:https://www.amny.com/transit/open-gangway-subway-trains-a-departure-from-traditional-nyc-rolling-stock/

The Bay Ridge Branch crosses from New York Harbor waterfront to the south through Midwood, East New York, Brownsville, Bushwick, Glendale, Middle Village and Elmhurst before reaching Astoria. The MTA has given the $1.3 million contract to engineering firm AECOM, who will work with a subcontractor referred to by the agency as WSP. more:https://www.amny.com/transit/mta-pushes-for-transit-expansions-from-bay-ridge-to-astoria/ triboro rx plan:http://library.rpa.org/interactive/the-triboro/

The whole thing is going to be so limited by the fact that they're going to have to maintain freight service, meaning the new passenger service has to be heavy rail. And it's unlikely that there is a consistent need for the passenger capacity of heavy rail in some of the areas.
February 2, 20205 yr thats why they are doing an official feasibility study. there is no way it could be done other than incrementaly in 3 parts. first brooklyn, then queens. then finally the bronx whenever amtrak and east side access sort themselves out. nyc is dying for crosstown services. riders have wanted triboro rx forever, but there is little political will unfortunately. the good news its a gimmee of a project if itgers backed. keep in mind the scale of it — if they can get 100k riders as suspected thats as much daily ridership as the whole of the denver or the dallas dart services.

June 2, 20205 yr mta chair pat foye puts trump's cdc on blast: Foye also went on to blast the “latest guidance” from the Centers for Disease Control, which advised residents not to take public transportation during the pandemic. “Encouraging people, especially those without cars and in congested areas like New York, not to take public transit is misguided,” Foye stated. “Transit is, and has long been, the safest way to move around any city. Our transit and bus system is cleaner and safer than it has been in history, as we clean and disinfect around the clock. Everyone who rides the MTA is required to wear a mask, a uniform policy we adopted for our workforce before the CDC reversed its previous guideline and recommended all Americans wear masks. We will continue to take every possible action to protect public health and safety, and the federal government telling people not to ride mass transit sets us back decades.”
July 22, 20204 yr mta fiscal tsunami: MTA officials say $16.2B in relief needed as COVID crisis hit’s NYC’s mass transit with ‘fiscal tsunami' By CLAYTON GUSE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS | JUL 22, 2020 AT 12:44 PM MTA officials on Wednesday announced the coronavirus pandemic has sparked the worst financial crisis in the agency’s history, one that its chairman Pat Foye described as a “fiscal tsunami.” The agency faces a deficit of $16.2 billion through 2024 without any federal relief from Congress. The MTA in March received approximately $4 billion through the the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, but transit officials have since requested an additional $3.9 billion to carry them through the year. Even if the funding comes through, it won’t be nearly enough to cover the financial hit the MTA has taken due to plummeting transit ridership and tax revenues. Agency officials also project they’ll need to find another $5.1 billion to stay afloat in 2021, another $3.4 billion in 2022, $1.7 billion in 2023 and $1.9 billion in 2024. more: https://www.nydailynews.com/coronavirus/ny-coronavirus-mta-financial-crisis-funding-20200722-nx53shkl5rdbznizcfcbsydyle-story.html

September 21, 20204 yr a bit of progress on second avenue subway if you can believe it: MTA Inches Forward on Plan to Grab Property for Second Avenue Subway BY JOSE MARTINEZ AND RACHEL HOLLIDAY SMITH SEP 20, 2020, 7:14PM EDT The MTA is still moving to someday stretch the Second Avenue Subway into East Harlem — but the pandemic-spurred economic crisis has put the project back on the local track. The agency has started taking steps mandated by state law toward eventually securing buildings and land along the proposed route of the Q line’s extension from 96th Street to 125th Street — with eminent domain a last resort. At its July board meeting, the MTA said it has begun the process of acquiring over a dozen properties along Second Avenue and 125th Street through “negotiated voluntary agreements,” according to agency records. If agreements can’t be reached “in a timely manner,” documents show, the MTA must take preliminary steps under the state’s Eminent Domain Procedure Lawto lessen the potential for future delays to the project. more: https://www.thecity.nyc/2020/9/20/21446021/mta-property-second-avenue-subway-eminent-domain-transit
