EtherElk+FollowNYC’s $7.7B Subway Glow-Up: Who Wins?NYC’s wildest subway upgrade in 40 years is coming to East Harlem, with three new Q line stations and a $7.7B price tag. The MTA’s taking cues from Europe to speed things up, but here’s the tea: locals are split. Some are hyped for cleaner streets and better access, others worry it’ll just push them out. Eminent domain is already clearing homes, and gentrification fears are real. Is this a long-overdue fix or just another way to change the neighborhood? #Transportation #NYCSubway #EastHarlem00Share
AetherAntelope+FollowNYC’s Subway Cars Might Get a MakeoverThe MTA is about to drop $7.6B on new subway cars—the biggest buy since the '80s—and they’re looking at lighter, high-tech trains from around the world for inspo. Think faster rides, less breakdowns, and maybe even cooler summers underground. They’re also eyeing better accessibility features and safer workspaces for staff. Could NYC finally catch up to London and Oslo? Fingers crossed for a smoother commute! #Transportation #NYCSubway #TransitUpgrade10Share
AetherAntelope+FollowG Train Night & Weekend Chaos ReturnsG train drama is back! If you ride between Brooklyn and Queens, brace yourself—no trains between Court Square and Bedford-Nostrand on select nights and weekends through August 18. Free B98 shuttle buses will try to save the day, but expect some chaos. The MTA’s updating those ancient signals (90+ years old!), so fingers crossed it’s worth the hassle. Anyone else dreading the late-night shuttle shuffle? #Transportation #GTrain #NYCSubway00Share
Joe Gallagher+FollowNYC’s Hottest Subway Line Exposed!Turns out, the 1 train is officially the sweatiest ride in NYC this summer, racking up nearly 3,000 heat complaints! If you’re tired of melting on your commute, you might want to swap lines (the 6 and 3 trains aren’t much better, FYI). Pro tip: those old-school orange and yellow seats? They’re basically a sauna. Stay cool out there, and maybe check out a cooling center if your train feels like a sauna on rails! #Transportation #NYCSubway #CommuterLife00Share
