Very true, I totally overlooked that. It seems like the R211 with all options is 1,567 according to Wikipedia, feels like they should tack on an extra ~250 cars to finish out the rest of the fleet

You also have to keep in mind that R46s/R68s are 75-footers. Ten 60-footers are equivalent to eight 75-footers. Going to do some quick math via Wikipedia (which admittedly makes this an estimation):

(748 R46s + 425 R68s + 200 R68As) * 10 / 8 = 1717 cars. Not to mention the SIR is replacing its R44s with them as well.

Let me play the world's smallest violin for their fat pensions

Use the same train type per track

>N/Q/W - will be receiving hand-me-down R68s from the above to replace their R46s all this while.

I bet you're right, I always mix up which lines are getting CBTC next.

Looks like though if they exercise all options they would be able to replace all the R68/As too, which I'm sure they will as I think after the future R262s the entire fleet would either have provisions or already have CBTC installed

This.

They won’t be adding any platform barriers unless the entire system is overhauled. The trains are different lengths so doors on various trains stop at different locations on the platform.

Unfortunately? As opposed to that mess sliding down the entire length of the train instead of being stopped at the door?

That’s a different model

La Fluer Cafe let's you smoke inside

The fact that there are currently no plans to implement CBTC on Broadway probably means they are last in priority. The order will likely go:

A/C - displace all R46s and R68s

B/D - Sixth Avenue has plans for CBTC so they will need new cars, displace majority of R68s/R68As. I don't think the base order for the R211 has enough to cover all of them, but option orders should bring them over the hump.

N/Q/W - will be receiving hand-me-down R68s from the above to replace their R46s all this while. Maybe the option order will be large enough for at least part of the Broadway fleet to have R211s?

Unions =legalized mafia

I was on it! 😁

> "It remains clear to me that the role of Managing Editor is not empowered with supervisory authority or meaningful institutional leadership," she wrote. "Repeated attempts to have the role clarified and to be included in meaningful management and leadership decisions have been met with inaction. Therefore, I am once again clarifying my intention to resign from the position of Managing Editor effective February 1."

You’re a managing editor, not a CEO. You get to direct what sort of stories get covered and how. There’s no doubt another manager that manages production staff and so on that doesn’t get to manage what you manage either.

Unions are generally a good thing. But media employees have such an inflated sense of how much control they have or should have of a company.

What happens next is they throw their employer under the bus, wildly overplay their hand, or both. And they lose because unless their content is a massive hit there is always someone else willing to do a prestigious and cushy job without being a total pain in the ass.

Because crazy people never go in-between cars!

The R lines will remain the same until hell freezes over.

The money saved on retirees's benefits will offset the money lost on housing, feeding and providing care to migrants. Old people are paying for it. It doesn't seem fair...

"There's new cars?", the J line is heard asking

Should be pretty obvious they're talking about legal ones. Not some secret party in a recording studio in midtown.

Hey guys! Could someone help me idenitfy what the street in this photo is? Something i'm trying to find out for a uni project- https://ibb.co/mqKNmKd Photo credit goes to alen Palender, Thanks!

A personal perspective: I lived outside of Bangkok when they constructed extensive elevated trains and roadways (early 2000s). If you want to see a model of failed projects, take a look at them: unbelievably expensive and corrupt, and not cost-effective either. The problems the projects were meant to address were worsened, and most of the money went down the drain. The only people helped were grifters.

I think you're right, but I have one question - why is it irrational to hate cars? (Whenever I see words like 'irrational' used in the same sentence as 'because' I wonder if something worth discussing is being avoided or denied.)
