I often wonder with the countdown clocks on the numbered lines
How is it that it can track trains further down the line By skipping over the trains already further up the line closer to the posted station??? Hear me out....
(i.e) at 59 st/Lex (4,5) uptown Exp Lower Level the clock will show
1.4 Woodlawn 2 Min
2.5 Nereid Ave 5 min
3.4 Burnside Ave 17 min
How is it that the clocks can skip over the trains in between the neried 5 n burnside 4????A Gap of 12 Mins??? Clearly this is a fallacy... (barring any issues along the line) the frequency is every 2-5 minutes
between trains...
I See this evryday mon-fri headed home at 5pm..yet after the posted trains arrive more 4 n 5s appear on the clock outta nowhwere...With 2-5 minute arrival times...Acquiring minds wanna know! lol
Also they need to re syncronize the clocks at 59/Lex in particular becuase it will show on the clock at the turnstiles of a i.e "4" Bedford Pk Blvd...1 Minute.. When in actuality the train has ALREADY arrived with doors open THEN the lights flash orange...So its to the point where if I see a 5 due to arrive in " 1 minute" and Im just swiping, I Dont bother tryna make the mad Dash down the steps with the rest becuase I already know I missed it...Thanx And God Bless
