I was the (7) it was a mess! I had to wait at 33rd st for 5 minutes until finally it moved to Queensboro. I saw the (N) staying there with doors open when the (7) doors opened the (N) doors closed and left. So pissed had to wait another 5 minutes. Really the MTA said they sent out extra N service baloney!
They shouldn’t do the (Q) suspsension need the (Q) to supplement the (N)
The N normally runs every 10 minutes on weekends. If you only had to wait 5 for the next N, then one of those two trains was an extra.
The extra N’s give Queensboro the exact same level of service as extended Q’s. And, if anything, they’re probably more reliable, since the route is so short.
A whole FIVE minutes?! The humanity!
I had a important meeting in UES so I’m sick of waiting for the another (N) to come. Really silly to wait I was almost late for the meeting.
So you had to wait 5 minutes and were almost late but weren’t? Travel on the weekend can be a bit slow around NYC, and I too hate the way Transit doesn’t make these connections easier, but I’m not sure what your complaint is other than that your ride took a bit longer than you would have liked.
So how do you get from Rockaway Boulevard to Howard Beach?
Never mind – the express buses go to Howard Beach, not Lefferts:

Ben, you might want to correct that in your text.
Got it. Transit sent out an update last night but I wasn’t around to make the change then.
How dare you not hover over your computer 24/7!
I wish that MTA would show pictures of the 63rd st F train 2nd ave subway progress so we could see what is behind of the blue wall.
Also the 1 train Cortlandt St progress they should show that as too!
There’s no work going on at Cortlandt. When trains aren’t running to South Ferry, it’s usually for Port Authority work at the World Trade Center.
That’s the trouble! When WILL there be some work at Cortlandt? The old Cortlandt St. #1 station had an entrance/exit at Vesey St. In all these years since 9/11, they could have begun work on putting back a Cortlandt St. #1 station, and the entrance could be at Vesey st. (I realize that the entrance cannot be in the middle of the construction area.)
ALSO, I agree that it would be a very good idea for them to release some pictures of what it looks like now behind the blue walls at 63rd St./Lexington Ave.
It’s not just the entrance – there is construction going on very close to the tracks, and if platforms are constructed, they’ll probably have to be demolished and rebuilt before the work is completed.
I would love to see pictures behind the wall, but I’m even more curious about the new exit at 3rd.
Also, if Greenwich Street is going to be run through the WTC site from Vesey to Liberty, they can’t rebuild the old entrance, because the old entrance was basically in the middle of the street. It was built into the side of the WTC complex, since the street-level plaza at Church was one level in the air by Greenwich, as Vesey dropped down going toward West Street.
The 1 train’s tracks were only one level below ground as originally built, but by basically putting a headhouse into the side of the WTC where the street used to be, they had one entrance with uptown and downtown access. They can’t do that if the street’s going to be restored, so the new station will have to wait until what’s supposed to be above it is completed.
