Where did you receive this information from? NYCT gave us only a few days notice about the final R42 ride, yet they are giving us an almost 4 month notice of the final R32 ride? Can this notice possibly be "counterfeit"?

No official announcement by MTA or NYCTM on the R-32 retirement run YET. These “posters” are easily to make one like the R-42 final run poster. Example: someone did makeup one on Reddit ... https://www.reddit.com/r/nycrail/comments/f5wpkz/fanmade_retirement_advertisement_by_me/

They did not specify WQHAT YEAZR this would be. But the LION has the inside information... The R-32s will be retireds in 2024 and the R-68s will be retired in 2030. The R-44 are already gone and the 46s are gone, but they still keep running. THEY WILL GO BEFORE THE R-32s ROAR

Even if that target date is changed, that means that the R46's will be retired AFTER the R32's. Otherwise MTA would have not have said a word in the meeting about retiring R32's.....no matter when the time would be.

As it stands now, the actual last run will happen much sooner, barring anything foreseen that is.

A competent transit agency would make use of state of the art technology so that so that OPTP could be accomplished with closed circuit TV like SEPTA on the M/F.

This actually is done with software and hardware support in some cases.
