HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BEN!
Happy Birthday! Another year closer to half-fare!
Yes, in 2048 he will be eligible for half-fare, maybe just in time for the opening of SAS Phase 4.
Happy birthday to u Ben!
Hey look the 7 is back to Manhattan!
Hope you had the best birthday ever, Benjamin. It was fun attending the talk at GreenLight Bookstore – and a fun forum in general.
Now I can put a real face to the name
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! all be it belated.
In 2048 the half fare maybe where the full fare is today & the MTA will still be studying the Metrocard replacement.
About South Ferry:
Why are they keeping the exact re-opening date a secret?
I hope that this does NOT mean it won’t even be this coming week.
The MTA is not releasing exact date because of the work needed to be completed at the old South Ferry.
And probably to prevent a load of subway spotters doing the route just because they can and getting in the way of real commuters!
Because even though the construction work is almost done we are talking about a station that relies on gap fillers. That being one of several reasons:
1. Gap fillers – very unreliable. Much testing is involved these days by the signal department to make sure they operate with optimal reliability.
2. Crew familiarization – a majority of the Train Operators and Conductors were not work the line and some were not working for Transit the last time the old station was used in customer service. Train Operators need to become familiar with the signals on the approach to the station and understand how they affect the gap fillers themselves. Especially when a train is ahead already in the station. Conductors need to become familiar with only opening the front section of the train.
3. All departments need to become familiar with what they’re roles are in regards to the station. Track, Signals, Third Rail, Stations, Etc.
4. Train crew qualification – and this comes after the station reopens where a supervisor must ride each train to guide each crew through the process.
So then maybe the MTA should have never said when they would reopen the station.
They are definitely opening the station, but they won’t know when until basically a day or two before. It’s not that big of a deal really.
They probably have to wait for Cuomo’s office to give the go-ahead.
The MTA did remain quiet about the opening. It’s more the Governor who decided to let the cat out of the bag.
And Happy Birthday from across the Pond too !
I can’t give official birthday greetings from the London Underground though !
Happy birthday, Ben! (One year closer to half-fare Metrocards… correct me if I’m wrong, but there’s still 35 more years to go)
Happy belated B-day! As they say in China, the elders are wiser. (I’m in my 20s.)
