Talk:New York City Subway

To add the "Full and partial subway closures"

Before 2011 there have been some full subway closures for NYC transit strikes (1-13 January 1966, 1-11 April 1980, 20-22 December 2005) and blackouts (9 November 1965, 13-14 July 1977, 14-16* August 2003). I think that it is necessary to add them.

• Friday 15 August at 9:30 pm the power was restored to the entire city, but only Saturday morning 16 August around 6:00 am, the MTA resumed services throughout the City.

Deinterlining

A section should be added on the concept of deinterlining the NYC subway. 2600:1003:B13F:7982:8400:BC6C:8046:D94C (talk) 15:04, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

And through running and missed connections? Like the place the lines cross in East Brooklyn and there's no transfer. Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 18:37, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Sadly, nearly all of the sources that talk about this are blogs or other self-published sources. I would support the addition of such a section, however, if reliable sources did discuss this. – Epicgenius (talk) 01:17, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

There is precedent-the 1959 switch on the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line at 96th Street, but it was not discussed as such. Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 20:58, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Number of ADA stations

@Epicgenius: It seems like we forgot to update this: As of September 2021, there were 145 ADA-accessible stations. Is there a way of having the month update with the text on Accessibility of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority? Thanks. Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 17:55, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

@Kew Gardens 613, I think there is already a parameter in Template:NYCS const to update the number of ADA stations. Perhaps we may need another parameter, though, for the "as of" date. Epicgenius (talk) 18:49, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Yes-this was about the "as of" date. Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 18:50, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. I've added a parameter to {{NYCS const}} now. – Epicgenius (talk) 01:15, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
