The MTA finally fixed the FML subway signage at 14th Street... except now it's more F'd up than before! Our photographer Katie Sokoler spotted the replacement stickers and tells us: more ›

This just in: the FML station stop lives on! A reader sent us this photo today taken yesterday at the 14th Street subway entrance (NW side). When the MTA was first alerted to the fact that their subway signage was mirroring an internet meme, they said they would remedy the situation with new "L" stickers, which they did... but it appears they neglected to remove some of the old ones. Either that, or one lone man is lurking around out there with a backpack full of "L" stickers and a dream. more ›

That was fast. The MTA has already changed their new subway signage (representing the F, M and L lines at 14th Street) so that it doesn't read as an internet meme meaning: "Fuck My Life." So... time to think of a fun meaning for LFM. Anyone? Some ideas bantered around the office include: "Lord, Fuck Me" and "Lick Fabio's Mullet" (this would also make for a great single-serving site a la Selleck Waterfall Sandwich). more ›

An internet meme has met the MTA, albeit briefly. When new changes to the transit system led to new signs marking some stations, the agency was forced to put the letters F, M, and L together at 14th Street and 6th Avenue. Surely, this wasn't the first time the letters FML met the letters MTA—though until now they've likely only come together in straphanger's heads or transmitted through Twitter feeds—but the agency doesn't seem to want it so, you know, in your face. And with that, NYCT's Charles Seaton told CityRoom, “As soon as we became aware of it, we were going to change it. We thought there was a certain population out there who might recognize it, even though we didn’t, obviously.” more ›

Though the MTA rejected the Working Families Party's request to post their "Service Nightmare" parody ads in the subways, the group has been working hard to get the posters up anyway. They sent a message to their supporters online, saying they will ask the MTA to reverse the decision on free speech grounds and asking followers to sign a petition to back them up. They're also asking supporters on Facebook to post the ad themselves. WFP spokesman Dan Levitan wrote, "what New Yorkers (and the WFP) really want is for the Mayor to step up to the plate and deliver for the millions of transit riders and students who are facing the biggest service cuts in a generation," and he tells us that over 2,300 people have signed the petition in less than 24 hours. more ›

If you're one of those frustrated, embittered souls who endure the G train, you no doubt recall that service on the green line was "only" supposed to be suspended on weekends through February 8th. But then the MTA panicked about the nosnowpocalypse, preemptively canceling the suspension on what was ostensibly the final weekend of work (to remove asbestos from the Greenpoint Ave station, among other things). So we weren't shocked to see the G suspended again last weekend, and assumed it was just to "make up" for the lost weekend. But surely the G is finally crawling back this weekend? more ›
