Thank you transit workers.

I would like to send my best wishes and a big thank you to the bus operators, subway train operators/conductors, and railroad engineers/conductors and other transit personnel for keeping New Yorkers moving. I have to say that you are amongst the strongest, most dependable, and amongst the most patient human beings in the City. Day in and day out, you continue to move New Yorkers from Point A to Point B with courtesy and professionalism. Thanks for being patient during the toughest of times and helping us with fares, services etc.

In my honest opinion, you transit personnel, do not receive enough credit or paid enough to do your jobs that you do. I do hope that you'll get the respect that you deserve someday. I find it unfair that passengers would take their frustrations at you when you are clearly not at fault. I hope that it doesn't bother you too much.

Keep up the excellent work in the transit system. I am glad to call MTA New York the best Transportation agency in the World.

Here is my corrected Brighton Track Map.

This is my Brighton Line track map as the tracks are currently are placed. I would like to tell you that some geographical elements have been modified, therefore this track map is not to scale. Thanks for viewing.


Here is some help in reading this map:
1. The orange lines represent track that is in use.
2. The black line is the track not used now.
3. The orange platforms are platforms that are in use.
4. The gray platforms are platforms that are being repaired
5. The red platforms are temp platforms and or extension. They exist only in Avenue J and Kings Highway.

The Lexington Avenue Line

If you have ridden any of the above subway lines, you know how crowded those train cars can become in a hurry. In Manhattan along the Lexington Avenue/Park Avenue South lines, the crowding is so bad, some people are forced to wait for a train as much as a half hour, just to fit in, never mind the seat, fit in the train. Waiting to board the (4)(5) subway lines at Borough Hall in Brooklyn is like a disaster. Crowds of people wait to board, the R142 and R142A trains come and it's packed.

Passengers have to pack inside trains, just like these!










Those trains may not be crowded in the photos, but if you can imagine the crowds. There is one solution coming, and that is the Second Avenue Subway (T) line. It will run along 2nd Avenue in Manhattan. However it won't help ease the crowding in Brooklyn, well there's the (2)(3)(M)and (R) lines for that. I'm surprised crowding isn't that big of a problem.

Anyways that's it for this post.

My latest bus shots in March

This was my best shot at Orion V CNG 9842 on the B68 at Coney Island Avenue. This bus still had a West Farms Sticker on it, meaning that this bus was recently transfered from that depot in the Bronx. It is now based in Jackie Gleason depot. Sorry for the quality of the images but these are the best ones I have.

All of them will appear small, click on each image to see the bigger version.
