im for buck fiddys especially to L train riding cacs
great thread but
not co-signing this breh
I never really had any issues riding the train. This is probably because I tend to hop rather than pay the $2.50, even hopped the station at City Hall several times.
I use to hop the buses too until the installation of cameras.
its 2.75, you out the loop, honestly sound like a part timer
Its a roll of the dice everytime I take the train in the morning for work.
Take the 2 all of a sudden it turns to the 5. Take the Q all of a sudden shyt turns to the R. Then the next stop its back to the Q
LOL that sh!t is so accurate. happens daily.
Yes!!! Facts, the forest hills stop is a freakin Dizaster out here.
i am in that station almost everday and honestly its a big station but a clusterfukk especilly in the mornin. durin like noon to 3 it aint bad.
ever since they started construction them narrow passageways smh
4,5,6, 2,3 are the WOAT train lines by far esp during rush hour in the morning and evenings
facts
North Riverdale...on the left side of the Hudson Parkway....I'd have to drive to the 1, but that shyt is local so I'd avoid it.
i love the neighborhood of riverdale. just like it, didnt realy enjoy all the racist looks when i used to go up there but a lot has changed over the last decade
instead of just white jews its turnin into a mix of hispanic black and asian (indian as well but thats asian lol)
Just switch at 96th like everyone else does.
For a local, you can go from Riverdale to 42nd in 40 minutes tops on the 1, and that's if you go local the whole way
i NEVER do what everyone else does, that shyt will get you nowhere imo., id switch at 72
I used to get from 125 to Rockefeller on the D train in minutes but that train was crowded as fucc
i love the d-train. lol i thought about hittin the disclaimer
@CashmereThoughts but fck it
orange is what i rely on
The mta board needs a complete overhaul I remember about 10-15 years ago Paul McCartney one legged wife was on the mta board. We taxpayers are paying for these board members to be driven around all day and do nothing.
The part that always pissed me off are the legislators who live nowhere near the NYC subway or buses,Metro North and LIRR are the ones who hold the most power and say where and when state money goes to fix the transportation. The second avenue subway should've been built decades ago.
el poyo loco for mta president
if you on tremont you got it made. the D train running express and skipping all the stops from 145 to tremont is
. gets you there from midtown FAST
yea that d train is a beast i stay on it
Thread makin me shed real tears
, I miss NY and them trains.
While workin in NY i managed to live @ last stops so i always got a seat 148 3 train and 179th on the F.
Last few times I was in NY i drove everywhere, that bougie life brehs
you can visit anytime breh
To be fair, I didn't really take the train during rush hour
But I never had a bad experience, and I went all over the city. That could very well be different if I lived there full time and had to take the train to work every morning.
For all its flaws, it's a pretty damn good transit system
How many other US cities have trains running between midnight and 5AM? Can you even get by in LA without driving?
good points, we are a lil spoiled. but it is a huge difference if you ride it daily and depend on it
me personally i NEVER ride the bus. i find it unreliable more than the train because for traffic.
but some laces you gott take the bus cuz the trains too far.
I don't live in the city anymore (moved to the burbs), but when I did the congestion of the 4,5,6 was unacceptable. It makes no sense that the west side has 4-6 lines and the east side only had 1.
always thought that made no sense but its the cities history. the richest fckers live on the eastside. the mayors mansion, all these billionaire cat(c)s etc.
i take the D train everyday (pause) and almost never make it from 125 to 59th with out stopping due to "train traffic ahead" made me late today.
crazy cuz i take the D (not in the morning) all the time (usually 3-6pm) and im always G. take it from BX to midtown
Kingsbridge, by the bridge to Manhattan
great neighborhood, always loved it. much like riverdale its chaning a lot too. gettin more spanish and blacks.
we dont need anymore whites
Agree with the above. Every other major city you pay based on distance traveled. NYC subway is also only one of the only rapid transit systems in the world that runs 24/7. Subway riders are actually kind of spoiled.
The trade off is other rapid-transit systems in other cities are much better maintained. Also the NYC subway is older than all of the others except London. If they developed it today it'd be a lot better planned than the competitive clusterfukk that was the IRT, IND and BMT.
we are definitely spoiled but sh!t is the worst when the train ruins your schedule or the metrocard errors/glitches/implodes etc.
G train is the worst though...shyt is never reliable.
On the other hand, when I was in Seoul..............whew......
that shyt comes in every 2min on time, free wifi, lcd screens everywhere, 7/11's and malls in the station, tracks are fully screened so no suicide jumpers, and no need to buy tickets you can just tag your wallet and go straight in.
yes facts. G train shouldnt even fukkin be mentioned. shyt has done be so dirty throughout the years.
sometimes i think it dont even go thru BK/QNS it just sits in the yard laughin at people waitin for it smh
that korean station sounds
tho im sure all the koreans in queens are like :cmon: when they see our shyt lol
I still think NYC trains are the goat but Japanese system is hot, you can use the train cards for purchases in stores, shts was on time, clean. Feminists would love it cause they had female only cars. Only downside was sum stations diddnt have free transfers
female only cars?
Man come to Toronto, now that's one fukked up transit system. We got 3 lines and they all suck. I live downtown and takes me an hour to get to work which is downtown. Everywhere overcrowded and we got a fraction of NYC's population.
We still using this: BTW, NO A/C and small windows that barely open.
Penis gets grazed on the regular.
thanks for makin me feel better
You talking about Brooklyn breh??
why the hell would he be talkin about brookyln it has MAD trains?
staten is the only boro with no connection. and you reppin NY?
Nah it's a rap for LIC breh. The tech sector is coming. Regular 2 br apt in LIC is around 2100.
lic is done. shyt went from QB to now QBs live there. i still hang out in the alleys and under the bridge tho
I haven't had to take the train much the last couple of years since I go to Queens Coll., I either drive or take the bus (111, 113, 114 still a haven for fukkery). But Ima be going to grad school in the city next fall and I'm dreading taking the train everyday again
If the LIRR ever did that shyt where they'd cut the prices for people traveling within the city limits, I'd probably hop on that in a heart beat since I'm a 10 minute walk from a station. It'd actually work better for me if they finish the East Side Access on time
The CBTC, my guess is that they're doing it first on lines that don't share tracks with other lines (L,7, G, the shuttles) for safety reasons
i think i have taken the bus twice in the last 16 years. its train + walking for me
I come in to the city from Jersey but still rarely take the subway cause of this. Dealing with the MTA and NJ Transit are like taking on two headed monsters.
I remember once I walked from Penn all the way down to SoHo cause the trains were shytty that day.
ive walked from dyckman to WTC, multiple times
I was underground for TWO fukking hours I kid you not. I was about to have an anxiety attack underground. It took us a legit 45 minutes from fukking 71st and continental to Roosevelt. Then the service was all fukked up.
"
F running local"
After being stuck on that bytch ass train forever, the shyt switches up at Roosevelt.
"F running express, on the E line"
M/R takes 15 minutes to get there.
I got to work crazy late.
yea that hapened to me yesterday. got on at roosevelt and the F turned into the E and then back after sutphin
A whole lot of bullshyt especially trains going straight local.
local twu 100 just like you.
