    Do away with the G line altogether. All is does is bring Williamsburg people deeper into Brooklyn.

    I take the N and W to work. So no W is fusked up - one less line of access.b, 21b, 21The E and R come close enuff.b, 21b, 21If I want to get to Williamsburgh Brooklyn from L.I.C. I could/would catch the G. But that has been one of the worst trains in NYC before gentrification.b, 21b, 21Im lucky enuff to live near a main point In NYC. I feel sorry for those folks who are dependent on one line or live in the Bubblefusk parts of NYC.b, 21b, 21Im a Subway muthafuska thru-n-thru and shit is gettin worse. b, 21b, 21The Car Game Sucks and the Trains are fusked - What's A Bro To Do?b, 21b, 21The Tellers have been gettin phased out for a minute, so i dont care for them anymore. They havent factored into my communte since the machines came in.

    Wonder what they're gonna do with all that torn up turf along 2nd Avenue!b, 21b, 21Long live the Lexington line, though...b, 21b, 21b, 21veteran of the 4 train strain!
  • batmonbatmon 27,574 Posts
    I live in The Bronx by the D and the 4....
  • Jonny_PaycheckJonny_Paycheck 17,825 Posts
    Yeah no doubt. b, 21b, 21I used to hate riding the D! Even though it was just a couple blocks off.
  • CosmoCosmo 9,768 Posts
    2-3 for life. Sometimes catch the 4 which is good in Brooklyn but is way too crowded in Manhattan. Also I catch the Q or the B (which is actually my favorite line to take.)
  • batmonbatmon 27,574 Posts
    The D has the 125 to 59 th advantage. b, 21Downtown real quicklike and into Downtown BK as well.b, 21b, 21The 4 is crazy during rush hour.
  • CosmoCosmo 9,768 Posts
    Telling you, man. The B is sooooo mellow...
  • selperfugeselperfuge 1,165 Posts
    B is cool but 2,3 is my train.b, 21also seriously underrated is riding the JMZ and getting into the first car. stick your face into the door window at the very front for great view of the uphill bridge climb.b, 21sounds like a cheese tourist move but it's fun if you're baked on your morning commute.

    b, 21b, 21Jeah. And its still has that 80's design.More spacious than the new joints.b, 21 Its cool for the uptown local.
  • UnherdUnherd 1,880 Posts
    I only ride from the UWS to downtown, but hell yeah the B is mellow as shit. My girl walks to the 2/3 cause she works near grand central, and when I roll with her I can't believe the crowds on 2/3 at rush hour, just letting trains go by and shit. Even on the rare occasion I ride at 8:40, the B is always breezy....b, 21b, 21I didnt read the article yet, but this dude the other day on the train was telling me its about to go up to 3 bucks?? b, 21img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/WHYMUSTICRY.gif" alt="" 21

    service changes aside, i am hoping the "whopping" fare hike is no more than $5-8 for the 30 day. b, 21b, 21Not really trying to spend a hun for a monthly.
  • jleejlee 1,539 Posts
    also, if the MTA is gonna raise fare prices when times are bad, the fuckers should lower the price when times are good.b, 21b, 21old skool nyc'ers, has the MTA ever lowered a fare price in the modern era?

    Batmon where in the BX do you live?b, 21b, 21i am by Sedgwick near the 4 and i will agree the 4 during rush hour is the worst piece of shit everb, 21b, 21sometimes i walk all the way across town after work to catch the A to the 1 and then walk homeb, 21b, 21only because getting on at Bedford Park isnt crowded but hopping on at 59th st is hell on earth...sometimes gotta wait and wait cuz im not one of those pricks who jump into people just to get home!b, 21b, 21the supposed T line was the 2nd Ave new line and i cant see it going anywhere although i saw them working on it last week in the 80s

    b, 21b, 21 b, 21b, 21The "T" Line should relieve the Lex line of all those Upper-Eastsiders who live far east. b, 21b, 21The 4 picks up The Bronx,Harlem and all those folks East of Lex. Shit is crazy.

    b, 21b, 21They haven't raised fares for awhile, but have continually raised the Thruway (Upstate's subway)rates. The other shoe has fallen and I can't say I'm not feelin a lil schadenfreude-y. It'd be nice if they actually did something constructive/productive with the extra money.

Yeah, the big new nice N trains are slick, but A/C trains still look like ass.b, 21b, 21Also, does the NY state budget shortfall now put the 2nd ave line back on hold?
