Apologies for not getting up these service advisories last night. Yesterday was my law school convocation, and I was out celebrating with my family. I seemingly picked a bad weekend to miss the advisories because there are a ton of them. We’ll start with a map.
On Monday, the F and G trains will again stop at 15th St./Prospect Park and Fort Hamilton Parkway. But before that, peep a look at this weekend’s map:

Wow! The MTA came up with that map? Why on earth can’t they do that every week?
I’ve seen quite a few of these in stations lately, mostly for really out-of-the-ordinary service changes. The ones that come to mind are the E running via 6 Av, the N shuttling between Ditmars and Queensboro Plaza, and the Q getting stuck between Prospect Park and Coney Island.
I was contemplating taking the F waaaaaaaaay into Brooklyn this morning… thank god for this update and not starting judgement day. I might have HopStopped it and caught myself… but there is a good chance it would have been a big WTF moment at Jay St.
It’s a pretty cool map. Love the lines lighted to put focus on the work, as well as the removal of the Lex Line (except for the uptown track at Bleecker!
Congrats on graduating law school!
Seconded!
Thirded! (?)
Fourthed. Well done, Ben. Go get ’em on the Bar.
Yes, congratulations on graduating law school!
Does this mean that you will be taking the bar exam soon?
If so, good luck!
