AirTrain JFK
Hello:

The copy edit that you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article AirTrain JFK has been completed. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Regards, Twofingered Typist (talk) 13:04, 6 June 2018 (UTC)


 * I meant to add a comment/suggestion. The AirTrain System Map in the Route section is virtually unreadable. I wonder if there is another version, or a diffefrent map that might be used to replace it? Just a thought. Twofingered Typist (talk) 20:31, 6 June 2018 (UTC)


 * I'll look for another version, but if not, I'll probably replace the image with maplink instead. epicgenius (talk) 20:54, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

Why did you remove the source on 3 World Trade Center?
I added a source because the date completion needed a reliable source. But you removed it. Why? HorsesARENice Ride me to my talk page 18:58, 8 June 2018 (UTC) HorsesARENice Ride me to my talk page 18:58, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

PATH
I love your work on the PATH articles. I have 29 PATHWAY Newspapers that PATH issued detailing what was new. When I have time, I could use them to add historical information. This could be a start for a History of the PATH article.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 14:18, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I appreciate it. I hope to split off the history section sometime because the article is getting pretty large. epicgenius (talk) 18:14, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

Ridership update should be expected in July
I attended the MTA committee meetings on Monday for the first time and heard that there will be a ridership report next month. I would expect the subway ridership to be updated then.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 14:01, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
 * It's very cool that you went to the meeting (I wish I could go one day). On the other hand, it's pretty alarming that the MTA is now delaying the ridership report by three months. I guess we'll have to wait until then. Thanks for the update. epicgenius (talk) 14:23, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I was able to talk to Jose Martinez, and we both agree that the MTA is likely looking for a way to make the ridership numbers not look as bad. They used to be released in February, then March, April, May and now July. You are welcome. I am creating a list of abandoned stations in New York City without articles at User:Kew Gardens 613/sandbox 10. Do you know of any that I am missing? Some of these can be sections on existing subway/railroad articles. Thanks again.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 14:35, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I guess that for the MTA, it's pretty bad that the subway lost 35 million riders. Pretty embarrassing to say that the subway shed 2% of its total ridership to Uber and Lyft. Yes, I'll help out with the abandoned-stations list. It's surprising that the Atlantic Branch has so many abandoned stations, though apparently they all did exist. epicgenius (talk) 14:42, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
 * It was a horsecar/streetcar line for a few decades after steam-powered trains were banned.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 14:44, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
 * That makes sense. Thanks. epicgenius (talk) 14:51, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
