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!

For me it seemed to be express trains not running.

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?

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

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.
