"Worse yet, some have a tendency to lurch repeatedly while stopping and starting"You wanna get lurched around?? Try riding the #7 with those R-62a's that rule the roost over there. I don't know if its the design of the brakes on those things or the indiffernce/skill of the T/Os to try to provide a smoother ride. Those brakes seem to grab & release with no in between that makes for an uncomfortable ride. Really noticable between Lowery & Rawson Sts Manhattan bound on the local when it flys down the hill into Rawson & the uncomfortable braking is most evident. Those IRT longitudinal seats don't help either |
