hoodlums

As you may or may not know, the MTA decided to renovate the AVE U and Neck Road train stations, thus canceling the B train express service. They demolished the Coney Island bound side and "rebuilt" it. It officially finished last Monday and I have to say, it was rather pointless. The only noticeable thing was the pavement and the fences. Unfortunately, the new fences did not stay new for long because in Crooklyn, vandalism is always out to ruin pleasant things.

Now they are done with the Coney Island bound side, they have started to smash the Manhattan bound side. I feel like they are simply wasting their time; after all the whole point of renovating the place is to make it seem more modern, but with ignorant teenagers around we can never have nice things now could we?


A totally irrelevant picture:

B Express slapped in the face

B trains going down under

Well the MTA continues to screw over the city. This time, the B train will no longer make express stops--at least for two years. Commuting times are expected to go up by at least seven minutes. the B train will make local stops, but running on the express track at AVE M, J, H, Cortelyou Road, Beverly Road and Parkside Ave. What does this all mean!?!? It means the MTA sucks ass. B trains will be slower than the Q train and overcrowding is going to get worse. And it's going to take them two years to fix up a couple of stations. On the weekends, no trains will stop at Ave M/J/H at all.
