Weekend Subway Service Fun and Games

2007_06_subwait.jpg

Yes, the MTA scheduled a lot of service advisories for this past weekend. But didn't it seem like the subways were much more screwy than usual?

We have the best subway in the world! Woo hoo!!

You missed the mark. An actual typical poster would have made an angry racist inflammatory remark, probably about Asians, then pointed out one or several perceived or imagined spelling and grammatical errors in the posting, preferably making one of their own in the process.

Ha - funny Chris. Don't forget about challenging the previous posters to being "real New Yorkers."

For those who ride rush hour Mon-Fri to and from work, it is especially annoying that when they have some time off it takes a lot more time to get somewhere on the subway. And its also difficult to figure it out, even with the diligence of MTA "advisories". The effect, although perhaps not really true, is that it seems the MTA conspires with their bosses to rob them of what little time they have left of their lives. I suppose the track work, etc. has to be done sometime. But why not late at night when ridership is at a minimum?

For me it seemed to be express trains not running.

One nice thing about winter is that the track work/fucked-up train schedules are kept to a minimum. Or at least it seems that way. I miss having the A-train actually run express through Harlem and the UWS. It sucks when it's 45 minutes+ to midtown!

Waiting for the D train at Grand on Sunday night, what train pulls up instead? The J. Running to West 4th.

I am not even sure how the J got to the D track -- especially the D before it intersects with the F.

Thanks, MTA!
