After morning delays, the MTA announced service changes so workers can fix cables at Bedford Ave.

Who needs a mantra when you can just repeat “please allow additional travel time” while kicking stuff as you text your friends, family and boss telling them you’re going to be late to every single goddamn thing you have planned for this weekend?

Welcome to Bushwick- home of the repetitive subway service changes and interruptions! Week after week, the same service changes are going down- whether it is delays, skipped stops or suspended service. The worst part is there seems to be no end in sight (Noooooo…)! Last week there was some hope of the M and J getting […]

I am sorry to announce that the return of the freezing temperatures (last weekend was such a tease) will most likely not be the only thing getting on your nerves this weekend

“It’s Time To Open The Gates At The Gates Station,” declares the petition.

The MTA’s top brass met with the public and elected officials at Bed-Stuy’s Marcy Avenue Armory on Thursday night to field the public’s questions and present two main approaches to scheduling L train closures during repairs to the Canarsie tubes that will start in 2019

But for anyone who spent hours trapped underground sandwiched between disgruntled strangers, there’s a simple solution to your struggle: get a bike. You don’t have to live like this. As Gothamist reported, subway service is only […]

Okay, obviously the Bushwick subway saga is a lot more complicated than that and the above may be a dramatization. However, you can’t deny that the service […]

Ah, Bushwick in the Polar Vortex – where jumping giant slush puddles and fearing frostbite is the norm

I think the only thing that makes me more aggravated than technology (don’t get me started on the jammed “lock” button on my cellphone) may be the MTA subway–I am especially looking at you L and M (J train wins “Train of the Year” by default because it consistently actually shows up

Starting late-night this weekend, the L train will run in two sections: 8th Ave to Broadway Junction, and Broadway Junction to Rockaway Parkway, running only every 24 minutes between Broadway Junction and Rockaway Parkway

The Bushwick train trio has had a pretty nice service streak as of late  – but of course something had to happen to rain (or snow) on their parade

What may be better than a stuffed turkey, homemade cranberry sauce and Thanksgiving pies

L is for Let Us Rejoice…but just for a bit because, even though the L train is making a rare weekend appearance, it is instead going MIA during the week. Sure, L train, go on a hiatus when we need to do normal things like take the train home from work or head into the […]
