Re: Bronx/Upper Manhattan Bus Thread 2008 by cotb16 3 minutes 44 seconds ago

Here's my spin;

Bx7/10; switched in Riverdale. The Bx7 runs along Kappock St and the Bx10 runs along Riverdale Av south of 239th St, thus eliminating the need for the Bx20.

Re: NYCTRC Report Says Subway Stations In Disrepair by Sam 26 minutes 27 seconds ago

Even the rehabbed stations are looking pretty shabby. Stations with drainage problems are staining the new tiles on stations such as Columbus Circle.

Re: It's offical: The "B" "M" & "W" runs later weekday by Sam 33 minutes 16 seconds ago
