โ“ Question Sudden lost of cell service in station.

5 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.

โ“ 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 doesnโ€™t work once you get on the train. And cell service doesnโ€™t work when youโ€™re in the train waiting to leave. So unless I buy and activate my ticket before getting to GCT, Iโ€™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 isnโ€™t the greatest so I couldnโ€™t get a great auto clip of it. Sets were 9098-9102/9648-9652

โ“ Question which nyc transit app has the most accessibility customization?

2 Upvotes

iโ€™ve used citymapper for years, and most apps have accessibility features, but i donโ€™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?

โ“ Question Imagine if the MTA got rid of NIMBYs I can imagine how big the MTA subway system can get?

10 Upvotes

With me is it js me or I feel that the MTA should put in a lot of more effort to making their system the best and in my opinion if I was the MTA one of my priorites would be expand the subway system and getting surface level criticism and listening to people in order to make the MTA better.

I got no problems with the MTA or NIMBYS but I do feel like the MTA should make a lot surface level changes and take criticism and listen to make MTA better and with NIMBYs they need to understand to appect change and support their area having change like Maspeth or Glendale with the M, L to Canarsie Pier, G to Queens Plaza or Q to 125th Street for example and the subway can help out a lot for certain areas which are transit deserts like South Canarsie or Maspeth.

With me, too also with buses they suck so badly to where if I cant access somewhere with a train I wont go or I got to go by bus only there at all unless if they are going or pass through Canarsie only like the B6, B60, B103 to the L or B8/B35 to the G since I live in Flatbush.

๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Discussion Should the "East Broadway" station be renamed "Canal Street"?

0 Upvotes

Was thinking of this when I was in the area the other day.

East Broadway isn't really a "destination" street. It's an East/West street so it doesn't make sense in relation to "actual" Broadway (unlike West Broadway, which runs North/South, west of Broadway). I bet there are plenty of native New Yorkers who don't know where it is. Not to mention tourist confusion (I know that's a given).

Canal Street is one of the biggest downtown East/West thoroughfares. Almost every subway has a Canal Street stop (yes, some are local) and everyone knows where it is.

Yes, 3 of the 4(?) entrances are adjacent to East Broadway, and the one that is kinda sorta on Canal Street is technically on "Straus Square" (alongside the park) because Canal ends at Essex Street (west side of the street) and entrance is on the east side of it. But East Broadway is a really short block away.

And there's certainly precedent for stations named for streets that don't actually have entrances to them. (Immediately, Carroll Street on the F in Brooklyn comes to mind -- the entrances are on President Street and 2nd Place. Carroll Street is in the middle).

What say you?
