Off-topic somewhat, but has anyone here ever been on a train that hit a "jumper"?
Two weeks ago (June 23) my F train hit a jumper at Jay St. The guy died. It was the second time I've had that experience. Don't know exactly how common this is, but it seems that in such cases if no details about the victim come forth immediately the story gets buried.
― Josefa, Saturday, 8 July 2017 03:30 (six years ago) link
I was on a train that hit someone while I was in the front of the front car. It wasn't a jumper, but someone who was on the tracks trying get out I think (there was some map of subway accidents that I found that had a listing for it at a much later date).
It was pretty shocking - motorman laying on the horn, swearing, slamming brakes, the sound of the impact, more swearing, yelling that it was 'a 12-9', police walking us off, me and my friend choosing to stare straight ahead to avoid seeing anything gruesome.
This eve the train I was on laid on the horn super hard at one point coming into a station - it still really unnerves me.
― chinavision!, Saturday, 8 July 2017 03:39 (six years ago) link
I just use Google or Apple maps when I want to find the fastest route fyi.
― chinavision!, Saturday, 8 July 2017 03:40 (six years ago) link
But Kickmap is what I use for a subway map-specific app because it is more legible and attractive.
Yeah, with this last incident the brakes were slammed on abruptly and there was an unnerving delay of five minutes or so before the first announcement - "we have a possible injured passenger at the front of the train," this repeated about 10 times before they finally evacuated us through the car second from the front.

i think i mention upthread about when i jumped on the tracks to help get a woman who fell in out. that's distinct too.

2 train uptown was fucked this afternoon, so I got to sit underground with a group of punks who were talking about how they wanted to beat the shit out of me. Apparently my gut is my main weak point.
Got out at next stop to the A, and that was fucked, too. I've had worse commutes this summer.

most of the comments ive seen on the blas tax hike scheme took it as a chess move to get cuomo to propose something else. who knows but cuomo then suddenly came out in favor of congestion taxes for cars entering manhattan which he'd never touched with a ten foot pole before. no doubt by the time any such plan actually gets enacted it'll be down to a nickel toll (or be wiped out by reductions on the tolls at crosisngs that already have them) and none of it going to the subways.
