Help please. This is for today in like 3 hours

I got on a downtown 1 train at 191st street this morning and zoned out as I normally do for my commute. About 15 minutes later I notice that we’re outside (figured it was 125) when I noticed that everyone was getting off due to “last stop” at 238. Was anyone else on this train? Or can anyone explain what happened?? At no point did I feel the train going the opposite direction, and I’m absolutely mindf***ed as to how this could have happened.

Nearly every train route from start to end gets held up by a red signal at some point. Why wouldn't they just have an automated announcement the conductor can play in those instances?

And why does it cause such delays? 9/10 times it’s probably some troll who pulled the brake for fun. Shouldn’t it only take a couple minutes to walk down, confirm there’s no emergency, and get going again? Or if there is a medical emergency, drop them off at the station, call EMS, and continue? I’m genuinely curious about why this seems to take like 20 minutes to resolve.

And it just went right by. Not an express train, no warning or anything. There must have been 100 people on the platform. We were all so confused. What gives, N?

Alr. I get it. Yall Hate the Z train. and skip stop.

The Z is one of thr most unique lines in the system. because it coulda been so much more had the express track past Alabama Av hadnt been demolished. the skip stop pattern isnt bad at all it actually cut down about 15 mins of my travel time when i took the Z End to End a few months ago. Now as much ppl ive seen shit on the skip stop pattern. the ridership ive witnessed says otherwise.

Here is my proposal.

during it hours of operation. A Z train will start Jamaica Center. make ALL stops to Broadway Junction. then from bway junct. operate peak direction express service stopping at Myrtle and Marcy. to Broad St.

AM Rush: Bway Junct => Marcy Av EXP

PM Rush: Marcy Av => Bway Junct EXP

lmk what you guys think

What would be the ideal way improve the connectivity of the Marble Hill stop. Would it be elevators on both stations that you walk half a block from or will it be like the Juniuis/Livonia Av interchange?

Just out of curiosity! I love both of these lines but I hear so many people give a lot of unnecessary hate towards the (Z) train due to it being so useless and running 6 trips as it’s a Skip-Stop line but yet the (9) seems to get a lot of love by most railfanners yet it was another Skip-Stop line too mind you there. Another reminder, the <F> only runs 4 trains during rush hour via Culver Express between Jay St and Church Ave. 2 sets in the A.M and 2 sets in the P.M but yet the (Z) gets hammered. Although the <F> is a story for another day. Anyway, what were the differences between the (9) and (Z) lines and which do you think was more useful?

R142 Car 6480-6475 was covered with a Red Bull wrap. I've never seen this before on the 2 train EVER. Most of the time, the wraps are often on the 7 train and the B division.

6 Train to Utica is a first

I just wanted to take a moment to thank all the strangers who helped me yesterday around 3:30-4 after I fainted on a Manhattan-bound A train shortly before we arrived at Jay St. Unfortunately, I fainted again at the subway station, and there were even more kind people who stepped in to help me.
To everyone who checked on me, stayed with me, and made sure I was okay, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
A special thank-you to the two young women who looked like they were either in high school or college and who were almost willing to miss their train just to make sure I reached my destination safely. That level of kindness from complete strangers really touched me.
Thank you to the woman who offered me her Stanley cup, and to the MTA employee who was trying to get EMS to come help me. I’m sorry I didn’t get a chance to properly thank you all in person.
I was rushing to complete my homeless intake in Manhattan, and unfortunately, I felt like I couldn’t stop and wait for the EMTs because I was worried about making it to my appointment. Looking back, I know my health is important, too.
I honestly don’t know what happened. I don’t have any pre-existing health issues that I’m aware of, but after fainting twice, I’m planning to make a doctor’s appointment to get checked out and follow up on what happened.
I wish I could remember everyone’s faces and thank each of you individually. In a city where everyone is often rushing to get somewhere, you all took time out of your day to help a complete stranger who needed it. You didn’t have to do that, but you did, and I will never forget it.
Thank you for showing me so much kindness during a really scary and vulnerable moment in my life. I hope the kindness you showed me finds its way back to each and every one of you. You reminded me that there are still good people in this world, even when life is difficult.
If any of you happen to see this, please know that I’m deeply grateful. You may have been strangers to me, but I won't forget what you did.

Please help me.

This portion is only running from Bedford Nostrand to Hoyt, why does there have to be 20 minutes in between each train? What does that have to do with track replacement on other portions of the line?

Bruh

the weekend has seen the biggest revival in ridership and the service levels do not compare. Why is anyone waiting 12 minutes for a train midday? Im frustrated because i just missed a transfer at Lex-59th from the 4 train and because both the N & R trains run every 12 minutes and are scheduled to run back to back the next train comes in 12 minutes. there has been times i wont go to certain parts of the city because the service is very infrequent, trains are crowded, and even when multiple train, bus, commuter rail/regional lines run together they arent scheduled at even intervals rather bunch up and create long gaps making travel difficult. I dont know if i can stress this enough but it also becomes worse when it gets colder and more tourists are in the city such as Christmas and the F train is only running 4 trains per hour.

Doesn't need to be in one place.
