Bay Ridge-95 St — Local services in New York

I'm so happy to review a subway station run by the corrupt and shambolic NYC MTA, in this case the 95th Street stop on the R. End of the line, and of your sanity. How did I not know I could do this?

The MTA has abjectly failed to fulfill its function for decades on decades and is actually the most embarrassing thing about New York City: an abdication of the most basic requirement for any metropolis—good public transit. Sadly, this review is mostly about the station.

I don't recommend this station, or any station on the R line. Actually, I don't recommend anything the MTA has ever built or run. And, I think the MTA needs to be dissolved/remade as a proper state or city agency with real accountability. But, I digress.

Continuing to digress, all current MTA executives should be fired. Current employees should reapply for their roles to prove they're competent to hold them. The unions? Dissolved. They once shut down the city over paying tens of dollars per month for health insurance when the private sector pays hundreds. In this station, maintenance workers literally sleep in the subway cars on MTA time.

This station has been under construction for more than a year and will surely stay like that for far longer as the contractor (photo of their info attached) steals every possible dollar. Needless to say, "construction" takes place every fifth full moon, but you gotta believe those guys bill for 100 workers/day.

On those contractors (and the MTA's no-bid contract process), it's the reason there can be no more funding. We need to starve this agency until it's forced to waste less of its budget or declare bankruptcy. It makes no difference to us since we can't get...

(مترجم بواسطة Google) شارع Bay Ridge - 95th Street (في الأصل شارع 95 - Fort Hamilton) هي محطة الطرف الجنوبي على خط BMT Fourth Avenue لمترو الأنفاق في مدينة نيويورك. على الرغم من الاسم ، تقع المحطة بالفعل في حي بروكلين في فورت هاميلتون (كما يوحي اسمه الأصلي) عند تقاطع شارع 95 وشارع الرابع. يتم تقديمه بواسطة قطار R في جميع الأوقات.

افتتحت محطة مترو الأنفاق هذه في 31 أكتوبر 1925 ، مع أول قطار يغادر الساعة 2 بعد الظهر. تم تجديد المحطة في أواخر سبعينيات القرن العشرين ، ولها مساران ومنصة جزيرة واحدة. [4] تنتهي المسارات في الكتل الوفير في الطرف الجنوبي من المنصة. [5] كانت المحطة الأخيرة التي سيتم بناؤها لخط الجادة الرابعة وهي جغرافيا في أقصى محطة في مترو الأنفاق.

كل من الجدران منصة لها خطهم فسيفساء الأصلي تقليم مع أقراص اسم القراءة "95TH STREET". بخط Times New Roman على طول المحطة بأكملها باستثناء قسم صغير في الطرف الشمالي ، حيث تم تمديد المنصة في الخمسينات من القرن العشرين لاستيعاب طول القطار القياسي الحالي "B" بطول 600 قدم. هنا ، الجدار أسود. المنصات كانت في الأصل 530 قدم في الطول.

تم بناء المحطة ببرج للإشارة ومكتب للمرسل.

في الشمال من هذه المحطة ، يتكوّن مسار نصف مقطورة إلى الشمال مباشرة من تقاطع الألماس ، قبل أن ينتهي في كتلة ضخمة تقع جنوب محطة شارع 86.

(النص الأصلي) Bay Ridge–95th Street (originally 95th Street–Fort Hamilton) is the southern terminal station on the BMT Fourth Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. Despite the name, the station is actually located in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Fort Hamilton (as its original name implies) at the intersection of 95th Street and Fourth Avenue. It is served by the R train at all times.

This underground station opened on October 31, 1925, with the first train leaving at 2 p.m.[1] Refurbished in the late 1970s, the station has two tracks and one island platform.[4] The tracks end at bumper blocks at the south end of the platform.[5] It was the last station to be built for the Fourth Avenue Line and is geographically the westernmost station in the subway.

Both platform walls have their original mosaic trim line with name tablets reading "95TH STREET." in Times New Roman font along the entire station except for a small section at the north end, where the platform was extended in the 1950s to accommodate the current standard "B" Division train length of 600 feet. Here, the wall is bare black. The platforms were originally 530 feet in length.

The station was constructed with a signal tower and dispatcher's office.

North of this station, a center layup track forms just north of the diamond crossover, before ending at a bumper block just south of 86th...

Moderate condition station on the BMT 4th Avenue Line. Not ADA accessible yet but elevators are being constructed and will open sometime in the future. Last stop for the R line and trains begin service here to Forest Hills. Station is served by the B8 upstairs. Station could use some work on renovating the platform. Wide mezzanine, though much of it is either a staff area or closed off for elevator construction. Station could use some...
