UGH GREAT, more F shuttle buses. If this is for “tunnel lighting installation” why can’t they keep trains running, but use the express tracks in one direction at a time? The F and L are far too busy for shuttle buses over such large stretches, but at least the L has no alternative…the F does!
There are only two tracks in service right now between Bergen St and Church Ave. Using the express tracks will be possible once the viaduct rehab is done.
Maybe if the f train uses the express tracks, the G could get communications-based train control installation since then they wouldn’t share tracks with any other lines.
Then the F could never, ever be rerouted down the local.
Oh yeah…
It’s amazing how much more complicated getting from Greenpoint to Park Slope becomes when the F/G work is in place.
Normal: One-seat ride
Now:
1) G-Train to Bedford-Nostrand
2) G-Train shuttle to Hoyt-Schermerhorn
3) A or C to Jay Street-Metrotech
4) F shuttle bus to 4th Avenue-9th Street
5) (Only if going deeper into Park Slope) Another F shuttle bus to 7th Ave or 15th Street-Prospect Park
Guess I won’t be visiting my favorite Austrian bar this weekend.
Replace step 4 with the R train. The R is much faster and more pleasant than the shuttle bus. (The entire reason the shuttle bus was split into two pieces was to encourage people going past 4th to use the R train for the first segment.)
If you have an unlimited card and don’t mind walking a few blocks, get off the G shuttle train at Fulton and walk to Pacific, where you can pick up an R or D directly. (Or, if you prefer, walk from Hoyt to DeKalb.) Or take advantage of the B67.
Drudge Report link was so nasty.
