^Anybody know if the truss span bridge before Whitlock Ave there is needing replacement and if it's been mentioned in any MTA capital plans?

[mrnyc]

^ i dk, but i hope not becasue it could be replaced. i like it as is.

otherewise, whitlock station and a few others along the line were rehabbed in 2012, which was a bit of a pita for me at the time.

The penalties for obscured plates are going to have to be pretty stiff for this to work.

Like they set your car on fire in front of you and dump it in the ocean to make a reef kinda stiff.

The R-211 has flip up/down seats in the designated wheelchair area. That IG image is a R-62A that is used on the 42 St Shuttle. I believe they removed the seating and made them standing only within the last 3 years ago or so.

There should be a tri-state area humiliation television channel and twitter account where offenders are posted standing in their underwear holding a balloon that says loser.

Could they make those toll readers any uglier btw? They look like cell towers.

This is what they look like in central London:


like birds on a wire

Notice how they're significantly less ugly.
