Access to C.I. Yard is limited after flood issues so the  is running local on Brooklyn while the express tracks are being used for storage. I guess all the work that was done to protect the yard from floods didn’t work.

MTA truly sucks so bad, the worst agency in the US, they can’t never reach a day where they’ll get good reviews, delays dirty trains stations flooding will always be a issue, only thing the MTA is good at is at lying.

Septa is worst than the MTA IMO. 

 

 

The subway is not that bad, the only NYC Subway route that truly sucks is the . MTA is still the best transit system in the U.S.

 

Outside of NYC most USA transit systems are garbage in comparison.

 

NY Subway riders are spoiled IMO. The MTA weak spot is the bus system. A lot of awful service there, even then, most cities in the U.S have terrible bus service to the point where certain jobs won't hire you if you don't have a car. Try relying on public transportation in the south, yikes.

What issues you have with the ? Service wise I never had an issue with that line, train usually shows up when it's supposed to. My only complaint with that line is its too crowded in Manhattan.

Same here, I use the  regularly and it’s been faithful. The only time I’ve ever had an issue is when something happened at 138th St that effectively stopped all service between Man & The Bronx and I had to detour around the West Side which took me an extra 47 minutes.

I seem to always catch the  during its worst times..I can say I’ve had the worst delays with it (20 minutes or more multiple times, stuck in tunnels, reroutes), during various times of the day.

Um, we had 8 1/2" of rain hit between late Thursday and Saturday afternoon before this finally cleared out.  NYC broke the single-day record for rain by a lot (even more than Sandy).  This likely was unavoidable.
