shitty train

一番線ドアが閉まります
ご注意ください

no dont jump

lol

>>9925526
YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME TRAIN!

>>9925555
People don't do that anymore.

>>9925612
Do you really think that?

>>9925612
Didn't they erect tall glass walls and put gates in them so people wouldn't jump onto the railroads anymore? I'm pretty sure that at least some stations have those.

I have fond memories of taking the the Long Island train. It was so fun and boring at the same time.
Manhattan-bound trains on the other hand...

I can't imagine why people want to kill themselves by jumping in front of such slow moving trains. They seem to think they magically die in the second the train hits them without any pain.

>>9925636
?

New Yorker here.

You'd think with how much we pay for a round trip on public trans our trains would look like >>9925554

Captcha: $173,000 tivedng

>>9925781
We do. I usually take the F, G and 7 trains and the F trains look really slick.

>>9926123
I take the D and N, it's terrible, especially the D.

you forgot the DING DONG

>>9926228
D isn't so bad. I just wish they would do away with the old cars used on the R, G and N. I have seen some D trains using the new cars used on the 4, Q and F trains.

What subway do you have in your city /jp/?

>>9926123
The 7 train looks like shit. I want to cry. It's such an important train, yet they all look like garbage.

>>9926978

I live on a 7 mile long island.

>>9925554
Thumbs up if you read this in his voice!

>>9926978
The most extensive metro system in Southamerica. It isn't really long but it's neat, safe and clean.

>>9926978

We have boring, slow trains and also trams.

Regardless of what model train they are using, rush hours are always shitty. I had to wait through 2 trains because I didn't want to force my way into the D train.

>>9927144

lol. what a beta nerd

>>9926987
It's expanded this fall. I live in Brooklyn and the nearest trains serving me are the G, A and C. Q, N and R via a two minute bus ride.

7 train isn't being restored on the weekends for like another week which sucks because i would take it to Grand Central via the G train to Court Square and than the 4 train.

Why do people hate the D train? Never did me wrong coming from Yankee Stadium after games.

Some trains just smell of the people that ride them. ie. blacks/hobos

>>9927212
Oh.

>>9927226
I'm not saying the D train of course. The D is pretty good to me.

>>9927236
Oh.

When will they expand the G train?

Onegai MTA

0/10 shitty city would not reside in

Ano kimochi when no tube in your city.

>>9927187
it's dirty as shit? The floors are muddy like 80% of the time. The line it runs on is also nasty with dirt people

>>9927524
You could never afford it is what you meant to say. Flipping burgers for a living will only get you so far.

>>9927531
Are those the 80's trains with the stil wood paneling? Never had a problem with them.

>>9927530
I lived on 5th Avenue for several years, plebeian.

>>9927043
That's 津田英治様.

>>9927542

Am I supposed to care? I have had friends throughout college and new friends since moving into the city.

How does it feel to be lonely? Fluttering your wealth around like you expect it to raise your mental health or well-being.

>>9927542
>>9927567
Please guys dont be mean to each other /jp/ is a place where everyone is happy and nice to each other with no meanies

>>9927567
It actually feels great because I a schizoid so I can spend all my free time playing Touhou in my swimming pool filled with money and never be happier (don't worry my laptop was custom-made to be money-proof). Enjoy playing stickball in the sewage with your friends.

>>9927587
Please guys ;_; please...

>>9927587

>>9927600
Romoney's not going to win, but even if he did, he's not touching autism bux, don't worry.

>>9927587
>don't worry my laptop was custom-made to be money-proof
xD

I hate the Q train.
I hated waking up to go to school.
Every day I hoped the entire line would stop working so I would have a valid excuse as to why I was perpetually late.

Q train is cool. I wish they would expand it.

when on a train I use my Jedi powers to open the doors :V

>>9927825
#wow
#whoa

>>9927825
Cool. I use mine to make traffic lights turn green. Some lights require more power than others.

I live in a small city so we don't have trains. Our only mass transit is a bus system that mainly operates around the colleges and downtown with a handful of stops that extend north and south into the suburbs.

I wish I could ride trains sometimes

Time to take the bus, wish me luck guys. 50 minutes traveling by bus, fuck.

>>9928152

ganbatte ne

>>9927642
yes

trains are cool

I didn't know there were other New Yorkers on /jp/.

>>9926978

Riding the trains in Japan was one of my favorite things about it. But hey, I love trains. I love looking at them, riding on them, hearing them, taking pictures of them etc but I couldnt give a shit about the actual mechanics of them. Pretty assburgers I guess.
I loved how you could see out the front of the train a lot in tokyo. Yamanote line is great.

Kyoto subway and JR lines were fun too, probably more than Tokyo's. That light rail car to Arashiyama was the shit.

Worst rail in tokyo was that fucking piece of shit across rainbow bridge to odaiba. Nice view though. I wish my city was this futuristic. Have a picture I took.

This is an otaku thread about Manhattan trains, not your weeaboo shit.

>>9930122

Is dat sum maglev? Post more.

So what trains did you take here in NYC today?
I took the F and the 4

Relaxing Japanese train video.

>>9930918
PATH to the WTC. When the fuck are they going to finish that station? It's a nightmare getting out of there on the morning commute. And of course, they hike the fares 25 cents every year for this shit

>>9931073
Not as bad as the MTA hike.

>>9930129
No, NYC trains. LIRR is welcome too and maybe Metro North.

>>9930918
The D a few stops uptown then to the B1. Tomorrow is to my usual 2 or 5.

>>9931743
Stop it. Go away.
>>>/n/

Is it easy to learn the NYC subway system? For reference, the only other systems I know are the Chicago L and Seoul's metro.

>>9931746
Go away autist. Go make 20 threads about how you find Tewis ass cute or some other Touhou hot.

>>9931915
Very easy. Late nights, Fast Track, Weekends and other stuff might make it confusing but overall its the best subway system in the world.

Fuck, I take the Q train. I like in Astoria. Fuck you, OP.

I love taking the Q train, In fact, one of the nearest stations to me is Dekalb Ave as the OP mentioned. I take it everyday unless I am heading to Queens I take the G train at Clinton & Washington.

>>9932080
>autist

hello pot, meet kettle

>>9932135
>but overall its the best subway system in the world.
Are you shitting me? It's literally one of the most outdated, inefficient systems on the planet, you Americans can't seriously be this patrotic to think it's actually good, let alone 'the best in the world'.

now playing 01. 元町中華急行 by NiZi-RiNGO from 東方副都心

>>9932778
Do you use it? Do you know anything about it? The oldest cars are from the late 1960s on a single line and are being retired next year I think.

Maybe you should take a look at the NYC subway map.

>>9932906
Yes I've used it, it's loud, uncomfortable and the cars sway all over the place like they're not even running on rails. Seemingly unlike you, I've also used subways other than that and can quite confidently say pretty much every other one I've used is vastly superior, with the exception of another American one, in Boston which is just bizarre. Hell, I'd even take London's incompetent, striking subway over New York's, at least on there I wouldn't slide from one end of the row of seats to the other every time the train starts and stops. Beijing's is also significantly better in pretty much every regard, along with Hong Kong's and Singapore's. They're all modern, smooth, efficient and incredibly reliable. I'm not even going to mention anything in Japan since it'd be like comparing a supercar to a Reliant Robin and would simply blow anything America has to offer out of the water.
Also, if you think just looking at a map of the New York subway would somehow prove it's not an archaic system that uses, like you say, 50 year old trains then you're very much mistaken. Nor would it change the fact that the majority of New York's stations are old, dull, rat infested, worn-down buildings.
At one point it was a good system which did rank amongst the world's best, but after decades going by with minimal funding it has been clearly surpassed by countless other nations by a long, long way and you'd be blind or ignorant to not recognise that.

Bondi Junction Line > City Circle

> I wouldn't slide from one end of the row of seats

How horribly retarded are you too think that its that bad? What are you expecting from a mass public transit system? Leather seats and cup holders?

>>9933053
Never heard of it.

>>9933084
Smelly dumb New York scum

>>9933070
My point was that the trains aren't smooth. How retarded are you to think not wanting sudden braking and fast accelerating actually means I want a fucking cup holder?

>>9933095
I don't think any subway car in the world is comfortable and that is not what I am thinking about when I use the subway. I don't know why you are throwing a tantrum over the logistics of comfort during starting and stopping. If you want to talk delays, service changes and FASTRACK than I will gladly bitch about the NYC subway with you. But arguing about comfort? Seriously, on a subway?

As for the stations? Yeah, most are pretty run down but most of the major ones are getting remodeled.
