Riders of the L train gave the line an average grade of "C" according to the NYC Transit Agency's report card. Over 4,000 riders graded the 10.3 mile line (42,000 surveys were handed out; over 2700 were mailed in while over 1200 were submitted via the MTA's website), giving the following marks:
- B- to "Signs in subway cars that help riders find their way," "Comfortable temperature in subway cars," and "Lack of graffiti in subway cars"
- C for "Reasonable wait times for trains"
- C+ to "Sense of security in stations" and "Sense of security on trains"
- C- to "Minimal delays during trips" and "Cleanliness of Stations."
- D+ for "Adequate room on board during rush hour"
1) Adequate room on board at rush hourThe 7 train, the first line to be graded, had an average grade of C-. Interesting grade comparison: The 7 train received one B- while the L received four; the 7 received one D and four D-'s and the L received only one D.
2) Minimal delays during trips
3) Reasonable wait times for trains
4) Cleanliness of stations

I don't feel unsafe in the stations, but then again, I get off at Lorimer and rarely go much past that, and I have absolutely no clue what it's like when you get past Morgan, but the train is way overcrowded in the morning especially.
The 6th Ave. Station is just a disgrace. It's filthy and crumbling. How do they justify the condition?
ha. losers overpopulate a neighborhood with only 1 way in .... 1 way out. L train stands for LOSERS. It's the loser train. loser.
if you're talking about williamsburg #2, there's the JMZ line to get in and out as well you ignorant fuck...
Oh my god - I can't WAIT until I'm given a report card to fill out for the G train.
The only category I'll give a favorable review to will be "sense of security" since any terrorist will give up in frustration from waiting for so long...
The 7 train is so much better than the L train it's not funny.
Indeed, #4, could not agree with you more.
Now the hope is that the MTA will actually DO something with these results to make improvements????
The opportunity to grade the G has already come and gone.
Look at all those stupid hipsters in the picture!
