“only the first 3 cars can fit in this station so if you want to get off there you better remember where in the train you are”

Not once in the 40 years I lived in NYC has this happened to me.

This is much more common on the LIRR or NJ Transit than the subway. Certain stations only allow the first 10 cars, last four cars, etc

maybe it was construction-related, if the intercom worked I might've been able to hear what the conductor was trying to say about it instead of a garbled static version of the teacher's voice in charlie brown

The old South Ferry station used to be like this, otherwise I can't remember of any others.

Oh yeah I forgot about the old South Ferry station, but I never went there because Staten Island sucks. I also moved away 5 years ago and was worried I forgot lol
