Everyone clamoring for extra service should be happy with the extended hours, but if you really think that more trains during peak hour will HELP you try looking the word CAPACITY up in the dictonary Anyone who calls for more trains running should never complain about a slow ride or delays....what you need is LESS trains “Good news?”

They get bad press all week, then release one small bit of good news (good news being defined as them not taking away things they've already previously promised) and act like everything is okay. With that being said, I'm not going to hold my breath for these improvements. I love how the MTA treats their customers like idiots.
