Per Gov. Hochul's press release: "[IBX] will create 19 stations and connect with 17 different subway lines — A, C, E, N, Q, R, 2, 3, 5, 7, B, D, F, M, J, Z and L trains — 50 bus routes and two LIRR st... See MoreSee Less

Kathy’s gotta go!

So I am wondering.. is this supposed to run on the same tracks that currently carry freight? If so, how will the freight lines deal?

Who would use the IBX to transfer to LIRR at Woodside? The bus to the subway is more efficient or even an express bus.

It shall become the IBX Muggers Delight.

We must demand a detailed map of train route, along with proposed train stations which include exact locations.

FIX the existing system before building something new!!

Another stupid proposal. Boo

This is not going to happen. It makes absolutely no sense.

She is just a jerk.

MTA claims the IBX will connect to “up to 17” train lines, but as we already mentioned, that’s not happening in Jackson Heights. It’s also not happening at the proposed Atlantic Avenue station. The A ... See MoreSee Less

Why can't they reopen the LIRR connection that they closed at Fresh Pond Road and Metropolitan Avenue.

I'll play devils advocate; 5 blocks is nothing. As an example, the metronorth station for Yankees stadium is approx 14 blocks from the stadium.

Before considering any new measures, we should prioritize conducting a comprehensive audit of the MTA. I am confident that such a review will uncover significant inefficiencies and wasteful spending. Moreover, given the size and complexity of the organization, there is also a strong possibility of identifying instances of mismanagement or even fraudulent practices such as inflated contractor billing, misuse of overtime, or improper allocation of funds that should be addressed before any additional funding is considered.

The MTA is New York Cities biggest Mob..

They're within walking distance.

Another reason this is unfeasible. Use this against them. Fight Fight FIGHT!

They claim a lot to get it to pass.

This is crazy Hochul’s idea. She knows very little about this city yet wants to stick her nose where it is not needed or wanted. A big waste of money which profits mainly foreign investors.

The MTA only cares about ripping off the citizens. They are not about what the co.munity tni is would help the people. THEY ONLY VARE ABOUT WASTING TAX PAYOR DOLLARS. How about setting up shuttle VANS, between connection before you re amo the system. Leave it alone. Take away those stupid cones on : Caldwell Avenue/ Elliot by Harry's. Takes up space and we never had problems with that walkway. Keep putting in pay parking to...threes small business have survived er 50 years and the city has to screw with some free parking. Get your hair done in under 2 Hours. Another reason,among others to leave. Im Too old forth is bs.

Time to start tracking the land/homes/whatever currently being bought and sold in the path. I’m serious. Way, way too much money is involved I’m certain of it. Bad Money got that nightmare crap pile city of yes passed. I’m getting tons of calls from non native speakers from corporations to buy my house. That’s normal on my land line lots of scammers call it’s the original 1930s phone number to the house. They are constantly calling my cell now, not associated with the house information and they know my name! I only have my cell in 3 places attached to the house. I tell them 3 million cash!

From the MTA's own report:

... “Within Walkshed” means the subway station falls within a half-mile walking distance from the study corridor. Stations listed as “Within Walkshed” are not close enough to

Walking distance for able bodied people. I assume busses exist at many of these stations.

Its the beginning of the end I'm afraid. Look at Roosevelt Ave

Fight. Fight. FIGHT!!

The IBX needs to go to Penn station to be of any use

Screw this! Don’t need it ruining our neighborhood!

It is a waste of money. Serving only a few. Billion spent on this. It is an excuse for politicians to make money with developers.

This project just needs to be cancelled

The only time new transit lines are built is to help real estate developers. It's never about the riders.

None of this is about transportation!!!

Total shitshow. It was never about easier transportation.

It’s all bullshit
