(G)arbage

(J)ust walk

(D)elightful :)

Paraphrased from some article I read a while back, don't remember the name.

The (1) stops so often your better of taking the bus. Subway equivalent of your grandpa trying to walk.

There is no proof that the (Z) train actually exists, few have reported seeing it in the wild. It's a hoax. Subway equivalent of bigfoot.

The (A) train is the subway equivalent of a neglectful father who forgets to pick up his son from soccer practice while the other, more responsible dads (the (C) train and the (E) train) manage to collect their children on time.

True, but thats not as bad as the (R), who (I assume) is the person who drinks tons of vodkas a day, never showing up or always being late, his liver is super damaged, if working at all!  

(R) - The local drunk line

(R)  is the other line I can think of with worse reliability than (A), the (G) might get better but it's up there as well.
