Looks Like The L Is Normal

Reader Ryan sent this photograph of the real time information boards the Bedford stop. Yes, we know the boards are in a testing period and "may not be accurate" yet this forecast of when the L is coming seem all too-familiar. However, when the testing period is over, if people see this displayed, we expect a riot.

More reactions to the L's new signs.

I have no problem with that system, but that picture right there was taked in the midnight. After 12:00am, so thats a normal time in all MTA train lines. After midnight trains dont pass every 5 mins. In rush hours most of the trains take like 2-5 minutes.

nice try.. i predict a riot = so NME and so 2004

and urban outfitters? seriously?

anyway.. ive noticed the L train being severely backed up at bedford in the mornings.. i mean yeah i ususally have to cram to get on the train, but this past week I've had to wait on 4 trains two mornings in a row. It's getting to be ri-god-damn-diculous.

To the soundtrack of "I Predict A Riot" by the Kaiser Chiefs.

I know there should be a moratorium on the hipster talk, but it's hard to avoid when someone discusses a possible riot on the L platform. I mean, seriously, how scary could a riot like that be? Probably like the crowd at an after Christmas blowout sale at Urban Outfitters, or maybe like when a new Bedford Ave bar opens up and starts selling PBR for 7 bucks a can. Riot!

I don't have a problem with that, sayin'.

Aren't Mad Libs fun?

Mad libs are fun, too.

I promise (really) to stop bashing GRAFITTI "ARTISTS" when they leave behind the faux-weltschmerz and the contrived 'rugged individuality' that only a group so collectively mindless and lockstep could engender.

hmm, that works too

Wrong! Today I am wearing jeans from a thrift store while waiting in line for Shake Shack to re-open. And as a street artist and daredevil I usally where gaberdine slacks to work.

They didn't send a man to the moon in a hundred year old rocket did they? Damn complainer, be happy with what you're getting.

Rodney King

Can't we all get along?

huh

6 years of construction for that? how long did it take to send a man to the moon?

Only a guy in Dockers would say that!

Rodney P. Sweetchops

Can we please have a moratorium on comments in the "L train = hipsters/ hipsters = losers" genre? It's beginning to lull us all to sleep. Hipster bashing is so 2002.
