Are F train riders finding the subway a little crowded these days? Maybe it's because the trains aren't coming as frequently as they should be. The Brooklyn Papers found that the F train wasn't close to its rush-hour frequency of trains every 4-6 minutes, but an average of 7-8 minutes apart in their sampling. While that may sound minor, think about how many people stream down the subway stairs every moment - a train coming 2 minutes sooner could mean the difference between some space to stand versus being stuck like sardines.
