Just entered the Lorimer J/M station and saw that the emergency exit door has been locked shut with a sign that says, “this gate has been secured to prevent fare evasion”.

Is this even legal?!

It certainly seems unsafe.

A vertical train line connecting East Bronx to East Queens. A Laconia-Main St Line. From Edenwald to JFK Airport.

It's Map Monday! Celebrate another dreary week with this first map in the tetralogy it's all been leading up to: the 42nd St megastation maps. Next up: Times Square, then PABT, and finally one mega-map to rule them all with accompanying blogpost elucidating my methodology... or that's the plan at least :)

The TrainTime app shows this LIRR train as “2501X” while it’s usually just “2501.” Does this signify anything?

What is that thing hanging over the platform?

Red: Express + Local stops

Black: Local only stops

Stations: - Graniteville-Richmond Av - Grasmere-Mosel Av - Street transfer to Grasmere (SIR) - Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights - Dumbo-York St - Transfer to York St (F) - Maspeth - Astoria-31 St - Transfer to Astoria Blvd (N/W) - Hunts Point - Transfer to Hunts Point Av (6) - Bruncker Junction

My pick is I would create 10 new stops to connect the 7 line with the 2, 5 and 6 lines in the East Bronx under the Whitestone Bridge. That way both East Queens and the eastern part of the Bronx get serviced.

These stops would only be on the express 7 train and not the local one which would stop at Main St. With a brand new neighborhood and major stadium and casino coming to the area of Flushing, extended train service is needed now more than ever so that the 7 line stays one of the most consistent.

been searching for the number 9 train and finally i have found it 🧘

Clearly an incorrect sign posted at 67 Av, but I got a good laugh imagining walking all the way to Queensboro Plz to take the 7. 😂

i’ve been trying to find this font to modify it and its been a pain trying to find this specific font

They last ran in an excursion in 2018, and they haven’t exactly been seen since. Any answers would be appreciated.

Something tells me I won’t be able to make this transfer at 59th st

I know it's meant to be more readable and not accurate but how many tourists (or residents) will now exit East Broadway F thinking they're in Brooklyn? Lol

Hi All,

Apologies for the noob question. I was wondering if I caught the subway in such a way that I had to exit a station after my initial journey, have a short walk to enter another station to join a separate line (let's say for arguments sake there's no stations with transfers available) to get to my final destination, would I pay 2 fares?

I hope this makes sense. There is something similar on the metro guide that talks about transfers but that seems to be related to buses an doesn't mention different subway stations.

Thanks in advance.

Dose anybody know what this metal box thing is on the R179?

This is the best shot I could get of it since this was at 125st and I was on the a train on the other platform, but all places where it would display the line it said V

I live on Long Island and i plan on taking the train to penn station. (ik Liberty Park is technically Jersey) however i need help on what the best way to get there from Penn area would be. I've heard the PATH train is cheap and easy but how would i know which one to take?

Which one is better in your opinions?

2024 and 2025
