The “partial shutdown” of the L will suck, but these chill MTA videos will ease your mind

The “partial shutdown” of the L will suck, but these chill MTA videos will ease your mind

Actually they REALLY won’t since the changes “may entail waiting 40 minutes for an L train.” The MTA is warning that there will be long waits and trains too crowded to board at “certain times.” And don’t even get us started on the bus situation on 14th Street — critics of the plans worry that they will crawl […]

“We don’t really totally know what it is…. [but] it is absolutely safe” says official on those mysterious L Train odors

Meanwhile, at least four workers have been hospitalized since the odd smells were reported this week between the Lorimer and Graham Avenue stations. Commuters have reported feeling ill too on Twitter and elsewhere. If you haven’t heard, riders began reporting noxious oil fumes on Monday. Clearly riders are getting pretty frustrated and want answers. Many […]

Not so fast… Cuomo says MTA board has to vote on his clumsily-announced plan

Not so fast… Cuomo says MTA board has to vote on his clumsily-announced plan

Clearly, the MTA, DOT and Cuomo are just trying to drive us insane. What’s more, there’s no meeting planned until the end of the month: Cuomo is calling on the MTA board to hold an emergency public meeting to hear the proposal and decide whether to pursue the plan, which would reduce a 15-month full […]

Cuomo walked through a subway tunnel, interrupting service, to give a press conference

Governor Cuomo, that shady huckster who caucuses with Republicans and terminates corruption investigations when they get too close for comfort, decided to shut down the L train last night so he could take a little tour. Sure, he’s done nothing to improve service since he’s been in office, opting instead to pass the blame to […]
