Weekend service advisories and fare changes
Posted by: | Comments
On Sunday the fares go up. I’ll toss up a post with some fare hike info on Saturday. For now, I’ve got some links to run down. I never had time this week to post this stuff.
First up is the picture atop this post. It comes to us via Twitter user grtela, and it is visual evidence a highly-anticipated service change. Beginning July 5, the G train will run to Church Ave. making stops along the Culver Line into Kensington, Brooklyn. I first wrote about this change in 2006 when it was originally scheduled for 2007. Transit is only two years late on this one.
The CEO of a Brooklyn-based industrial supply company plead guilty to charges of selling counterfeit material to the MTA. Joseph Ungar will face five years’ probation and a lifetime ban from doing business with the authority after selling them fake ball bearings for subway cars and bearing assemblies for bus transmissions. Apparently, Ungar was impersonating a dead salesman. It’s good to see the agency cracking down on this type of behavior.
Apparently, it’s very loud on the subways. According to a recent study, decibel levels underground reach 102. Both the EPA and the WHO recommend daily average decibels of 70, and my dad blames his tinnitus partially of decades spent riding the subway.
And finally, from last week, the MTA has to spend $3.3 million to upgrade its MetroCard Vending Machines to combat counterfeit bills. With the relatively new money the Treasury Department has unveiled on the country, the transit agency has to ensure their machines are up to date. How about a contact-less fare payment system?

Connecting with SAS (and weekend service advisories)
Posted by: | CommentsAs the weekend draws near, I thought I would take a few minutes to promote the site a bit. Tomorrow, I’ll be riding the Nostalgia Train to the Bronx, and when the train goes above ground, I’ll upload some pictures via Twitter.
To that end, you can find Second Ave. Sagas on Twitter right here. Follow me for mass transit musings and updates in 140 characters or less. My more personal, non-blog related Twitter account is here. We’re also on Facebook, but that’s far more passive.

The weekend of Pelham 1 2 3 (and service advisories)
Posted by: | CommentsThe reviews are for Tony Scott’s remake of The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, and the film is receiving surprisingly good write-ups. While it doesn’t sound as though the new version has the quirky charm of the 1974 flick, Scott’s work is being praised as a good summer action movie with a solid lead cast. It’s on my to-watch list for the weekend.
While the new movie seemingly glorifies a subway hijacking and hearkens back to an era in which subway riders knew the rails were a dangerous place to be, these days, the New York City Subway are as safe as they’ve ever been. Over at the Daily Beast, Seth Michael Donsky remembers the trains as they used to be. He chatted with photography John F. Coon about Coon’s work in the subways of the 1980s. It was a far different time indeed, and the pictures from the accompanying slideshow are fascinating.
Now, onto the service advisories. I’ll pretty these up with the bullets later tonight. Remember to check at your local station for up-to-date information. These advisories are as the MTA sends them on Thursday and are subject to change.

Weekend service advisories
Posted by: | CommentsI don’t have too much to add to this one this week.

Leftovers and service advisories
Posted by: | CommentsWell, it’s Friday evening, and as the week draws to a close, I have two stories in the hopper that I just didn’t have time to post during this four-day week. So let’s round ‘em up right now.
Amy Zimmer of Metro took a look at the trail of subway trash. New Yorkers produce nearly 18,000 tons of subway trash a year, and while there are no recycling bins in the system, 50 percent of that trash is recycled after being sorted at sanitation dumps. According to Mike Zacchea, the assistant COO at Transit, separate bins are not made available in the stations because they would quickly become contaminated with non-recyclable trash.
A Bloomberg News story delved into the latest MTA bond issue. While I honestly don’t understand all of the economics behind it, it seems as though the MTA’s bonds were so favorably priced that investors were able to flip them for a short-term high yield, and the agency lost around $9 million — or enough for eight new subway cars — in the process. MTA board members and New York City officials called the after-market bonds trading “pretty distressing.” I’ll see if I can put together a more comprehensive post on this issue, but as I have limited knowledge of bond trading, it may take some time.
Anyway, service changes abound this weekend. As always, these are the service changes as provided to me by the MTA, and they are the planned changes only. Sometimes, some of these changes aren’t in effect, and sometimes other work that affects service isn’t reflected here. Pay attention to signs in your local station and leave extra travel time as well.

China transit investment and weekend service advisories
Posted by: | CommentsEvery Friday, when NYC Transit sends out the weekend service advisories, the press release always discusses the agency’s $10 billion capital improvement plan. Yesterday, Infrastructurist ran a piece on China’s transit investment plan.
Outside of New York, the U.S. is hardly committed to transit, and here’s Jebediah Reed’s take on it:
As of March 31, China has committed $259 billion to the project, and plans to spend nearly a half trillion dollars more in the next three years, boosting the total investment to $730 billion by 2012…The US–a country with a per capita GDP about 16 times that of China–has set rail as a national priority and has committed… $13 billion. Or, about 2 percent as much in China. This, of course, is in a place where it costs a hell of a lot more to get anything done.
“Why, oh, why,” he asks, “do we have such difficulty approaching serious projects with the required seriousness in this country?”
The discussion on Infrastructurist moves into the comments, and it is, of course, enlightening. China’s approach to everything — politics, governing, investment, society — is far different from ours. Yet, China has the right idea in investing in a legitimate national rail network. If they can do it, so can we.

Fare hike protests (and weekend service advisories)
Posted by: | CommentsLet’s end the week where we started it — with news of fare hikes. This time, we’ll focus on fare hike protests.
The first is close to home. On Monday afternoon at exactly 12 noon, a group of Staten Island drivers plan to protest the Verrazano Bridge toll hike with a little civil disobedience. A Staten Island-based driver is organizing an effort to pay the $10 toll with 1000 pennies.
Various state representatives, all of whom voted against the toll, support this effort. “This protest is a great way for Staten Islanders to show their frustration and send a strong message to Albany that Staten Islanders are tired of being treated like an ATM,” Assemblyman Lou Tobacco said. “I applaud the efforts of protest organizer Scott LoBaido and believe that we need more grassroots efforts like this one, locally and statewide, in order to truly reform New York state government.”
The MTA is ready for it and says that paying the tolls in pennies is not illegal. “We’re sure the bridge staff is going to handle any event professionally and with safety being the highest priority,” Judie Glave from MTA Bridges and Tunnels said.
Meanwhile, State Senators from Duchess, Orange, Putnam and Rockland counties are convening a task force of area residents who want more service from the MTA. The task force will put together a list of specific service enhancements that those in the area wish to see.
“The MTA tax is unfair, unreasonable and unequally distributed” State Senator William Larkin said. “This task force will give the Hudson Valley the voice to be heard in New York City and bring our transit needs into the open for discussion and future action. If they expect businesses to pay for services that the vast majority don’t use, they had better make room at the table to hear our concerns.”
I would imagine the upstate Senators will be far more successful in their efforts than the Staten Island residents will be. Now on to the service advisories:

Link-o-rama and the service advisories
Posted by: | CommentsI just wrapped up an eight-hour take-home exam, and I have a backlog of short stories. To cover them and your weekend subway readings needs, I’ll do a little link-o-rama post.
- First up, we have some more analysis of Elliot Sander’s resignation. Crain’s New York says that New York Gov. David Paterson is going to have a tough time replacing Sander. As much as Paterson wants to make his own mark on the MTA, the consensus among transit experts and advocates is running against the governor. Nearly everyone agrees that he should have found a way to keep Sander around and that the upcoming replacement will pale in comparison to the outgoing transit expert.
- Elizabeth Benjamin notes that Sander’s ouster is part of an effort to overhaul New York State authorities. Sander is the first of what could be many dominoes lined up to fall.
- Streets blog wants President Obama’s transit experts to come in and rescue the MTA. The site’s commenters, many of whom are SAS regulars as well, agree.
- In a very thorough piece at Politcker NY, Jason Horowitz and Jimmy Vielkind go to town on the MTA bailout. The two writers slam David Paterson and, to a lesser extent, Mayor Bloomberg for giving into Carl Kruger and the Fare Hike Four.
- For a lighter take at something near and dear to our subway hearts, check out Gothamist’s interview with Dr. Zizmor. The famed subway dermatologist talks about why he appears so youthful in his ads and the joys of being recognized around the city.

A 96th St. update and weekend service advisories
Posted by: | CommentsEarlier this week, I reported on an amNew York report concerning the renovations at 96th St. on the West Side IRT. Accoridng to that report, the MTA cut $26 million from the project, and as a result, the station would supposedly be less handicapped accessible.
Not so, said New York City Transit. The current station, said Paul Fleuranges, spokesman for Transit, is not accessible at all; the new one will still be in complete compliance with the ADA. “this rehabilitated 96th Street station will be fully ADA accessible,” he said, via e-mail, “and in fact it will be far easier to access the platforms. I remind you that the current station is not ADA accessible, so the improvements we are making will increase accessibility by 100%.”
Fleuranges also said that a more streamlined design rendered the third elevator superfluous. The stationhouse will still be state-of-the-art, but it will also be more cost-efficient. In these days of uncertain financial times, it’s good to hear the MTA is keeping an eye on the bottom line.
