And one from the e-mail that didn’t make it to this list:
From 1 a.m. Saturday, December 28 to 5 a.m. Monday, December 31, Brooklyn-bound R trains are rerouted over the Manhattan Bridge from Canal St to DeKalb Av.
Wait, the G is cut to Court Square because of electrical work in Lower Manhattan?
*confusion*
An MTA press release from the future:
“From 8:30 a.m. Jan 1st to 11pm December 31st, there will be no G train service. Why? Because we feel like it. What’re you going to do, give us a poor grade on the next Rider Report Card?”
