For some reason, I feel like this would make a great game, trying to prevent dwell times between stations with random events and different times (medical emergencies, fights on the trains, rush hour, evening hours, etc) and having to juggle them on real life lines with real life congestion statistics.
Buy MiniMetro on Steam for 10$
And cut scences
The game exists, on a lower scale. It’s called Mini Metro. Only way u lose is if a station overcrowds too much to make it close
@@Thatgamingdiary WHERES THE DELAY!!!
@@2trains #### I forgot about that, no trains=less service less service= crowding crowding= lose the game
This is one of the simplest, yet most informative things I have ever seen the MTA ever put out. However, it does not tell us as passengers how to help alleviate the problem (besides not shoving ourselves into the next train).
SparenofIria I think it should really be a matter of teaching the public itself about train bunching, and how to know better than to just board the first train they see, rather than wait for the next train if the first one is the leader/victim of train bunching.

This is all fine. My problem as a daily MTA rider is you don't ever make announcements about problems in service. It isn't until the platform is terribly overcrowded and you've been waiting 25 minutes that you hear a garbled announcement like "because of a switch malfunction at Canal St, N and R trains are experiencing delays". By then, you have 500 people all thinking "no shit" in unison and forcing their way out of the station. Token booth clerks claim to have no heads up either. Communication is the key part and that's where the MTA fails miserably. Otherwise, for a system over 100 years old, it runs pretty damn well.
It is like a game
A very simplistic view, but not a bad representation.
One more thing you can do - the train that's at the cause of the gap - if there are trains stacked up behind it - unload it and send it express forward to close the gap.
I'm honestly really happy this video exists, proving that the MTA knows what train/bus bunching is, and how to combat it. Too bad neither Liberty Lines, nor NICE Bus will ever be able to do the same. If they did...ahh, that'll be the day.
There is a section of track in queens on the E and F line where it can sometimes take a half hour to go from Roosevelt Ave to the next stop. That's unacceptable
Forest hills or queens plaza
**PUTS QUARTER UP ON SCREEN** I got next.
This has to be the cutest thing I've seen lately.
I LOVE THE MUSIC
Now if only the MTA can just catch and take down those subway conquestors
I would prefer if the delayed train went express to close the gap. This solution seems to just frustrate everyone.
Kenneth John Can't please everyone
Kenneth John That will be more frustrating because it's not letting me off at the stop I want to get off at!
Mark Rejhon You will still get to your destination faster. You will be able to take a train in the opposite direction from the next express stop, and that train will be moving without delay.
Apreche
isn't that solution impossible if the train being held is always going to be blocked by the trains ahead? you can't make it express if it can't get past those trains in front of it, right?
opticrainbow There are two tracks at many stations
Awesome work!!!
This. Explains. So Much! Great Video :)
Give credit where credit is due. Where are the credits? Who made this?!
apierce5 Seriously. Came here from Citylab to try and find out who did the music.

It's right there, under the video. I guess this only gives the music though.
apierce5 It is Created by MTA videographer Joe Chan and Jon Maus, definitely should put this in the description.
Peter r Thank you!
E
Good way of getting info out to the public The subway cars look like a combination of IRT cars and the R32 fleet
Oh shit the service gap 😵😵😵😵😵😡😡😡😡😡😤😤😤😒😒😒😱😱😱😟😟😖😖😡😡😤😤😤😠😠😠😶😑😵😵😵😳😳😵😵😵😵🤢🤢🤧🤧🤧😓😓😭😭😭😪😪😥😢😰😨🤒🤒🤐🤐🤐🤐👿👿👿💩💩💩💩👺👺👺👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👊🏻👳🏻
Andy lopez you are cool
Andy
I kinda want to poke holes into this logic, like what if it's an express track, the distances of each station, whether or not the medical case becomes bigger, and etc etc ixnay, but I'd rather not get bombarded, lol.
I was one of the unlucky ones who train passed the junction and were only the space between two stations away from the train with sick passengers
So please explain why the E and F always seem to run smoothly until the next stop is Jackson Heights - Roosevelt Ave and/or 71st and Continental Ave. Its at this point the trains start moving as slow as molasses through the tunnels and the constant announcements about train traffic start. Ridiculous.
This is not the first a 6 train was stopped along Lexington Avenue close to the part where it changes to park aveune a sick passenger was there the train wa shield for 10 minutes so they had to change trains to express
Headway’s appear because some trains turn around?
I like the video, but the obnoxious bright white flashing used as a transition makes it difficult to watch.
A game!!!!!!!!!!!
a summary of LIRR
Great illustration, what program did you use to create it?
Brilliant!
I get it now but of course the MTA subway are back to back unless there is a sick person
is this the official MTA transit channel
Catchey tune
This is an awesome and informative explanation.
Those selfishes are holding the train door sooooooo long also make the train delay .
is there a video where the MTA explain why there is always a repair needed almost every week? trains in other countries rarely need that much service.
on a side note: the fare rate has been increasing by about 10% every year, thats one hell of an inflation rate.
Can I have the link for the background music?
why is this so pixel art/8bit music-esque
That's cool n' all, and I have no reason to doubt that this works, but it's not this catching-up procedure that causes the maddeningly long waits when something happens. It's whatever procedure is enacted during the initial event. They take FORRRREEEEEEVVVVER to get the person off the train and get this catchup stuff rolling. It wouldn't be half as frustrating if operators displayed just a little sense of urgency in the matter.
androo2300 Exactly, just get the person on the platform where they can wait for emergency services and get the train moving ASAP.
How do I play this game???
Jó a zene.. :-)
Ah, I see. Just like a controlled burn. Delaying one train a bit to reduce overall delays.
Are they just putting it in a video game way that kids would be interested in
And R143
What something delayed on subway trains
Just run gap trains.
I saw a scik women on the (6) or train
Andy lopez oh
Bad shawarma is the number one cause of all subway delays.
This clearly explains the number of times that the F train has been run over the G line during the morning rush hour, or express from West 4th Street to Jay Street during the evening rush hour. And that number is zero. This is just another offensive effort, cutesy but still offensive, to blame us victimized passengers for outdated mass transit planning.
What i do not understand i why they just do not send extra trains out on the affected line to quell the Gap i mean even at rush hour their is at least a quarter of the yard thats full with trains not in maintenance so why don't they put those trains out temporarealy to the nearest switch in front of the delay. To stop the gap and get people to work on time.
Also cancelling a train does nothing to quell the line it actually leads to dangorous situations.
And please more annoncements if delays thanks
RCTNextGeneration Sometimes the issue is WAY ahead of the pocket or lead track from the yard.
Bring me that asd
Is this real?

Heh! Funny story
Hi
In the words of Louis CK, people need their bacon.

Is a game yes mtainfo
get new dispatchers. they hold trains up for no damn reason and cause large gaps!
At 5 in the morning?! Every fucking day at 5 am someone is sick? Stop lying. I get penalized for being late to work, why aren't you?
You people have no idea how it works and you never will...Why? Because you want what you want and you want it right now. I have had passengers suffer a major heart attack and the passengers have requested that I remove him/her to the platform.
SgtBaker16 The crew MUST stay with the sick passenger until paramedics arrive.
