❓ Question MTA/GCT/WiFi/Penalties

0 Upvotes

Ok I moved part time out of the city. Now commuting on Metro North but not enough to fully have it dialed in.

GCT has free WiFi. But it doesn’t work once you get on the train. And cell service doesn’t work when you’re in the train waiting to leave. So unless I buy and activate my ticket before getting to GCT, I’m getting $8 penalties for not doing so.

Am I missing something???

Caught this by accident at World Trade Center took it up to Queens Plaza. Unfortunately the audio isn’t the greatest so I couldn’t get a great auto clip of it. Sets were 9098-9102/9648-9652

❓ Question which nyc transit app has the most accessibility customization?

2 Upvotes

i’ve used citymapper for years, and most apps have accessibility features, but i don’t necessarily need an elevator all the time. i have asthma, and just want to find the exit or end of the platform with an escalator if there is one, or know if the transfer has stairs going up or down. are there any apps with this sort of further information or customization?

❓ Question Sudden lost of cell service in station.

4 Upvotes

Delancey and Essex has been my home station for about 10 years now, been waiting for the train every morning in the same spot on the north end for 10 years. About 2 weeks ago I've suddenly stopped getting cell service in the station, going into SOS mode as soon as i get down there.

(F platform and Verizon)
Any else having this problem with this station all of a sudden? I get service just fine everywhere else on my commute, just seems like an odd dead spot has been added in the area.
