This morning there was signal problems @ Flushing- Main St. No service in the morning so I had to take the local. It was a slow crawl with the congestion going on. I don't get why they had to cut off the since the signal problems were occurring near the Main Street station terminal.

The 5 reduction maybe it leads to headways bunching. Also the laying up at 125th street possibility that why due to congestion. For the A/C shutdown the MTA said that it is less severe than the tunnel.

I noticed that the Fastrack for the first few months focusing on Lex Ave line Upper East side portion.
