Cool subway art.

Back then graffitti was good and bad art. It was good art because it was good artistic and vivid and looks awsome to other grafitti artist. And it was bad because it damaged property like trains, subway walls and tiles. But people still call it artistic and I have taken a few photos with my friends Jacob and more and have decided to post it here. it will also be on the following websites. http://www.deviantart.com www.flyart7.blogspot.com and here. 

the door controlers. For NTT and SMEE

This is the door operation for R142, R142A, R160 and R143.



PS> THE ISOLATE BUTTON WAS WRONG ITS SUSPOSED TO BE ZONE LIGHT CONTROL. ISOLATE IS FOR THE CONSOLE. IT WAS A ERROR

The $2.50 fare

Metropolitian Transit Authority has raised the fare to a unfair price of $2.50. When thee fair was $2.25 it was easier for people to get around the city for about $4.50 now its $5 for a two-way trip. Its really not fair to raise the price to $2.50 and charge a extra dollar for a new metro card. Now people including, school children are wondering how are they going to go to school if they have a half-fare metro card the answer is try to get the school bus to school and home. How does this affects us. It affects us by loosing more money for cruddy service on delayed buses and trains espically on the B46 on the morning yes there is delays on traffic but just buy new faster buses and send a bus every 6 minutes or less. The LIRR has taken its jump from its regular fare to a higher fare so has metro north. Now the MTA has made it harder for us to get around the city.

Information about the R142 and R142A door control

Do you know some part of the R142A and the R142. Do you want to know something cool WELL THEN CHECK  THIS OUT.
THE Master door controller is the way how the passengers get in and out of  the train. Its uses the master control key and has 3 positions RUN, ON, TERM. Run activtes the traction motors of the train and disables the doors. ON acvivates the doors and disables the traction motors also when you turn it to that position they key can not come out of the slot. Term disables any door activity in the cab but allows the key to be removed.
