Ok, is the F train normal btwn 7th Ave and Hoyt (or Jay) this weekend, or not? The signs in the stations say no, but the MTA website sez yes this weekend, no March 1-3.

I'll be taking the B67 bus to Atlantic/Pacific at least a couple times, then.
― Dr Morbius, Friday, 22 February 2008 16:07 (sixteen years ago) link
I took the B61 for the first time last night! Bus trips are kind of little adventures.

we got out there about an hour and a half after the incident, cops all over, medical examiner van on the street and the whole station smelled like bleach :(( ick

shannon asked one of the cops what happened (to make sure no one got shot / knifed / etc), he said "someone got hit by a train and died." "oh ... how awful." "enh, it happens."
lol, jaded motherfuckers. worse than newspaper people even! ha.
― dmr, Friday, 22 February 2008 18:57 (sixteen years ago) link
mmmm, small sample size.

"Someone" (transit worker) getting hit by a train was responsible for my worst MTA experience ever, which involved winding up stranded and wandering in an unfamiliar section of Queens in the middle of winter.
(Although the best part of that was priceless -- asking the booth attendant where the alleged nearby bus route was, and having him go "I have never been up there.")

When I was coming home that night, Q trains were being re-routed along the N line from Atlantic/Pacific on.
I've had some crummy subway rides lately. On Tuesday, I knew the Q wasn't running past Atlantic after midnight, so I decided to just take the 4 and walk from Franklin BUT, the 4 was terminating at Brooklyn Bridge, and I had to switch to the Q at Canal anyway. Then to the 2 at Atlantic. Took me about 1 and a half hours from Union Square!

Pretty sure you could have hop-scotched home faster than that. Wau.
― Laurel, Friday, 22 February 2008 20:29 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, one of the those nights I was really kicking myself for not getting out at canal and taking a cab across the bridge. Dumb dumb dumb.

the 4 has been sucking lately during evening rush hours, just in wait times and crowdedness.
― bell_labs, Friday, 22 February 2008 20:44 (sixteen years ago) link
I used to get on it at Grand Central, it sucked uniformly, morning and evening. :(
― Laurel, Friday, 22 February 2008 20:44 (sixteen years ago) link
4 was running on the 2/3 track this morning
― dmr, Friday, 22 February 2008 20:49 (sixteen years ago) link
i can usually get a seat at 86th street, but it's packed by 42nd. usually now it's packed by 86th too though.
― bell_labs, Friday, 22 February 2008 20:53 (sixteen years ago) link
if i dont get a seat, it is a miserable ride smooshed all the way back to crown heights.
― bell_labs, Friday, 22 February 2008 20:55 (sixteen years ago) link
^^ this worked in my favor this morning.
― ian, Friday, 22 February 2008 20:58 (sixteen years ago) link

There need to be violent protests against any/all future rate hikes.
― ian, Friday, 22 February 2008 21:20 (sixteen years ago) link
They've increased 7 service lately, sometimes if I just miss a train in the AM, I can stand on the sunny platform and watch the next one, already pulling into the station.
― Laurel, Friday, 22 February 2008 21:25 (sixteen years ago) link
my friend blogged that the mta is canceling all weekend work due to the rain? Confirm?
― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Friday, 22 February 2008 21:44 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah, i got the email.
― tehresa, Friday, 22 February 2008 21:45 (sixteen years ago) link
fuck YES!!! Now I can home from Metropolitan in less than 90 mins (knockwood).
― Dr Morbius, Friday, 22 February 2008 21:46 (sixteen years ago) link
it pisses me off soooo much that they are increasing the monthly pass but not the regular one. i would be fine with them screwing over tourists/people that don't have to ride their shitty trains every fucking day.
― bell_labs, Friday, 22 February 2008 22:21 (sixteen years ago) link
also you should be able to by an annual pass.

that Q train really gets moving past Atlantic, but there seems to be one every 20 mins during a.m. rush.
