It’s a good thing I don’t have to go to South Ferry again this weekend…

The N replaces the R in lower Manhattan so it’s really not that difficult to get to South Ferry. Plus the West Side 2 and 3 connect with the 4 at Fulton St which gives access to Bowling Green.

You’re right, I see they’re running the N down there today

I wonder if the MTA would ever cancel outdoor GOs due to the insane heat we’ve had.
