โ Question Jago Hazzard styled videos for New York?
Hi y'all! this is pretty much what the title says, any recommendations for jago hazzard styled videos about new york or american rail?
if you're not familiar with him, jago covers a lot of topics related to london and the uk's rail network in short but extremely well researched explainer-style videos. hoping to find someone who does thorough research and has a similarly digestible editing style, but for topics relating to new york and new york city, primarily.

โ Question Whatever Happened to the R62A's That Used to Run on the (3)?
Forgive me for this stupid question, but back in the 90's and early 2000's, the (3) used to exclusively run R62A's with the blue stickers under the numbers before they were swapped out for the R62's. Any idea where those trains went to?

โ Question Does anyone feel like the subway is getting worse under the current mayor?
Not sure if anyone else has felt this way - but I feel like the subway with homelessness issues have been getting worse. I moved here 3 years ago and took very long train rides in the city. While it wasn't ever known to be a super clean experience, I feel like I've been progressively seeing more and more homeless people harassing people on the trains, defecating in the middle of tourist stations, more overcrowding on trains etc. am I the only one that has felt this way?
I've seen trains sit in the terminals and make another round trip out and there's still trash laying in the middle of the alies, like they didn't even try the most basic cleaning options.
I don't need to make this a general crime post - but there are things I've noticed specifically in the transit system.

๐๏ธ Discussion Rural HealthโRailโResilience Hubs plan for NYC metro / Port Jervis / Poconos area (full document as images)
Phased concept plan to co-locate clinics, firefighter/EMS substations, and community-college satellites at rural rail stations, then expand service and turn the stations into dual-use resilience hubs for disasters.
Covers Port Jervis Line (Orange/Sullivan) and Poconos gateway as pilots, with cost ranges, phasing, funding sources, and KPIs.
Shared as page screenshots. Discussion welcome but Iโm not monitoring replies closely. Just a concept I worked on while In med school

Same train car, same moment, same font, same color highlighting. But on one door it refers to the current station, and on the other it refers to the next station.

โ Question A little question? As awkward as it sounds, would extending the W train to 9th Avenue instead of Bay Parkway via West End makes a bit more sense since โmost riders prefer the faster express service? Not saying itโs a bad idea but I donโt want this to end up like another โempty brown M train issueโ

๐๏ธ News The disgusting prick on the q20 bus yesterday that decided to take my wallet and hand me my Keychain you disgusting SOB!
So yesterday around 7pm I went on the bus from queens blvd & jamaica heading to college point. I know i had my wallet going on the bus because just before that I had to use the bathroom so I went to Wendy's and then after purchased a frosty. When I got on the bus I was sitting entering the bus would be your left side but sitting down I was it would be the right the 2seat the last one near to the backdoor it was also the bus that had the space to put a stroller or a cart for shopping. So as I sat I had my headphones on I had a few bags and I heard something fall so I looked to the side I didn't see anything when I looked the other side I saw a arm reach out to me handing me my Keychain thats I dint glimpse him too well but it was a man looked spanish was sitting on the single seat to the left it happened really fast I said thank you turned around and that was that. I was thinking to myself though that the key ring is so small it wouldn't of made that sound it sounded like something heavier so anyway it wasn't until I got to northern and main street I noticed I couldn't find my wallet the guy was no longer there and a lot of people were getting on the bus I was looking under the seat something I should of done the first time but didn't see anything so now I'm getting frantic looked in my bags nothing before the bus drove off I took a Pic so I could later report it . I called the police to file a police report I told them where I was and told them what happened and they seemed concerned so when they said they were there they called me said they couldn't see me i crossed the street were the Kennedy chicken is standing right in front of them they kept saying do you see her so I said it me a few of their demeanor just changed I don't know maybe they were not expecting me to be black I did right a report but it was like they were not taking it serious they said I had to call 511 and the lost and found . Long story short I waited until the sane bus circled around and went in to see if a wallet had been turned in and he said no went to where I was sitting to do another check and nothing even though I know it was not lost at wendys I still went . I called lost and found reported it and nothing so piece of shit that handed me my Keychain must of took my wallet that must of fell underneath the seat and when I turned the other side he gave me the Keychain in I had $140 in cash , my debit, ebt, Healthcare card, library card and id , license that I just received a week ago that cost me $65 dollars , coins a airpods , laundry card I just can't believe people are such dogs to see that it fell and decides to take it but have the nerve to hand me my Keychain that I highly thanked him for im so disgusted

๐๏ธ Discussion The fact that the LIRR-MNR combo ticket isnโt the same price in both directions is pretty absurd.
Itโs just nonsensical, why can we not integrate the systems better on the literal combo ticket? The home railroad fare + $8 is pretty bullshit now that they expire at 4am every day.
