oh crap that second option for the Q should be the W. can Vic fix polls?

― ian, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 14:20 (eighteen years ago)

wait, what? you tricked me into voting for the wrong line. INVALID POLL.

― dmr, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 14:21 (eighteen years ago)

NQRQ

― ian, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 14:23 (eighteen years ago)

like NRBQ.

― ian, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 14:23 (eighteen years ago)

in terms of what?

― gabbneb, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 14:27 (eighteen years ago)

convenience to you, reliability, cleanliness, etc.
just vote jerk.

― ian, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 14:30 (eighteen years ago)

i don't think any of us have admin / poll-fixing abilities
everyone should vote L anyway ;-)

― sleep, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 14:33 (eighteen years ago)

what is the 9 train

― sleep, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 14:33 (eighteen years ago)

lol

― gabbneb, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 14:34 (eighteen years ago)

L train sucks because it's always so crowded.

― ian, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 14:36 (eighteen years ago)

5 from the UES on a weekday morning = even worse

― sleep, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 14:46 (eighteen years ago)

the 4 & 5 seem to have narrower cars than the L does. i mean, i wouldn't vote for them either. the 4 does stop close to my apartment though.

― ian, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 14:47 (eighteen years ago)

the 4 + 5 aren't as crowded as the L during rush hour. it's crowded from 14th st up to 42nd, but empties out after that and i can usually sit down after that. also, reliable. HOWEVER, i wouldn't vote for either.

― bell_labs, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 14:56 (eighteen years ago)

The Q is fast as hell, can get you from Prospect Heights to Times Square in a half an hour or less with few stops. And it goes to Kensington.

― dan selzer, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 14:59 (eighteen years ago)

where is air-train?

― Steve Shasta, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 15:08 (eighteen years ago)

i dig trains that drop me off in fronta my house

― sexyDancer, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 15:09 (eighteen years ago)

i voted for the 7 train because everyone hates it and thinks it is smelly, but it is actually a great train.

― bell_labs, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 15:18 (eighteen years ago)

my least favorite trains are the R and V.

― bell_labs, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 15:20 (eighteen years ago)

didn't they get rid of the 9 train? I hadn't needed to ride it for a year and when I went to catch it I was so confused. It used to be the 2,3 and 1,9 until recently.

― Yerac, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 15:25 (eighteen years ago)

I like to imagine the L train like that old snl skit where eddie murphy goes whiteface and finds out that the white people party on the bus as soon as the black person gets off. Like the hipsters get an open bar as soon as the immigrants and working class get off.

i vote for L.

― Yerac, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 15:28 (eighteen years ago)

the L train is def the best.

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude ‫茄蕃‪, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 15:39 (eighteen years ago)

maybe we should have a poll for best non mta subway nyc transit options

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude ‫茄蕃‪, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 15:40 (eighteen years ago)

the v sucks.

― lauren, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 15:48 (eighteen years ago)

The 7 train is the SLOWEST TRAIN I've ever taken. It goes to great places and I have to love it because I live in queens, but even the express is pretty slow. And the non-express, going through sunnyside and LIC takes forever. From 61st street, it can be up to 40 minutes to get to Grand Central, while it's 10 minutes with no stops to Penn Station on the Lirr. Worth the extra 2 dollars.

― dan selzer, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 15:49 (eighteen years ago)

yeah but the 7 gets extra points for running above ground. of course it's slow. but you get to look out the window.

i know i've gotten to flushing from grand central in like 20 minutes on the express!

― bell_labs, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 15:52 (eighteen years ago)

i probably wouldn't want to commute on it, but the 7 is classic

― gabbneb, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 15:53 (eighteen years ago)

honestly, the most efficient commute i've had in ny was when i lived in greenpoint and took the G to the 7 to grand central. it took me 20 minutes to get to work.

― bell_labs, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 15:56 (eighteen years ago)

no JMZ, no credibility

― ghost rider, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 15:57 (eighteen years ago)

The 7 express is fine, it's the regular one that's a drag. And there've been service interruptions at totally random times. I've had to get in the car and drive to Queens Plaza to pick up people twice.

Things like the G and the 7 are only great during rush hour. Imagine a G to the 7 trip at 3 in the morning.

― dan selzer, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 16:02 (eighteen years ago)

whoa no jmz

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude ‫茄蕃‪, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 16:09 (eighteen years ago)

the G at any time other than rush hour is a mess, but i didn't realize there were lots of service interruptions on the 7 :( i've only had good experiences. i bet it's not as bad as the L, at least!

― bell_labs, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 16:15 (eighteen years ago)

the L is not bad anymore

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude ‫茄蕃‪, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 16:16 (eighteen years ago)

JMZ is the best for the view and phone yapping while sneaking round to the L the back way

― sexyDancer, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 16:21 (eighteen years ago)

sometimes i am supposed to be at work at like, 9 am, for a meeting or something, and the L fucks me up every single time. L from 8-8:30 ALWAYS seems to have a fucking 10 minute gap between two trains causing the following two-three trains to be too full to board. this happens at least weekly.

― bell_labs, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 16:22 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, the 7 has been notoriously bad recently. There were several weekends in a row with no service at all, that was planned. But whatever they were doing obviously wasn't enough because after that it kept fucking up. I take the LIRR to work every day when I'm freelancing my main onsite gig which is way on the west side. It's either take 7 to the E to 34th st then walk 2 blocks west, or take the LIRR to 34th st and walk two blocks west. So my commute is either an hour plus on a crowded subway, or 15 minutes sitting down on the LIRR.

― dan selzer, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 16:22 (eighteen years ago)

The JMZ would be way better if it went into rollercoaster mode on the bridge

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude ‫茄蕃‪, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 17:06 (eighteen years ago)

one good thing about the JMZ, get in the first car and press your face on the front window as its going on the bridge

― sanskrit, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 20:09 (eighteen years ago)

Does the JMZ have propane heaters on the tracks?

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude ‫茄蕃‪, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 20:09 (eighteen years ago)

I voted for the 1, because I am exactly as UNCOOL as Jerry Seinfeld and shit.

― nabisco, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 20:17 (eighteen years ago)

Alternately, exactly as cool as Suzanne Vega.

― nabisco, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 20:19 (eighteen years ago)

i have a feeling that the L is going to win this, which is just so wrong ;_;

― bell_labs, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 20:23 (eighteen years ago)

yeah, 7 weekend crap is the definistion of horsepoop. but im fond of it too. it can be painfully slow at times. (also people that ride the 7 dont understand that whole wait for people to get off before trying to get on issue...or the keep to the right thing...also: conductors are notorious on shutting the doors in like 2 seconds -- so, maybe the in myface getting on people have a point) G to 7 is complete pants in non-rush hour situations...

ok all that said, being able to see the skyline coming/gowing across LIC is an impt part of my day.

i half miss the n/w for that reason only. otherwise n/w made me lotsa crazy for a long time when i went btwn ditmars and graham regularly.

R is fine for a while, but once it splits from the N in brooklyn it is maddening. everytime i thought id get to Bay Ridgeon time I ended up being 20 minutes late...

The F seems much better recently, but i still dont care for the taste of it...

why go on.

― bb, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 20:28 (eighteen years ago)

this poll is making me realize how sheltered ive been recently...

guess i should be glad i have to go to parkslope tonight

― bb, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 20:30 (eighteen years ago)

hating the L train is stupid

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude ‫茄蕃‪, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 20:34 (eighteen years ago)

i only hate its crowdedness. and i hate that on any train. otherwise l train is fab. clean, reasonably timely, quick moving...though i can have enough of people with 400 traderjoes/wholefoods/forever21 bags pretty quickly.

― bb, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 20:36 (eighteen years ago)

the L is not the worst train, but it's not the best!

― bell_labs, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 20:38 (eighteen years ago)

Stop lurking on williamsboard and stop hating on the L train.

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude ‫茄蕃‪, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 20:38 (eighteen years ago)

also people that ride the 7 dont understand that whole wait for people to get off before trying to get on issue

this happens a lot when i'm trying to get off the E at 14th. gtfo jerkfaces

― sleep, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 20:39 (eighteen years ago)

I hate the people who act all put off that you bump into them when they stand to the side in the doorway in FREAKING UNION SQ. fuck you douchebags

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude ‫茄蕃‪, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 20:42 (eighteen years ago)

i only hate the L during rush hour, really. it's better than average at night!

but, i am claustorphobic, and i don't like being touched by strange people, so taking the L train is kind of horrifying for me at rush hour.

also why does it stop at 3rd avenue, that always bothers me!

― bell_labs, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 20:47 (eighteen years ago)

doorway cloggers be having babies with side-by-side walkers

― sexyDancer, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 20:48 (eighteen years ago)

and i haven't even been lurking on williamsboard (today)

― bell_labs, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 20:51 (eighteen years ago)

i have litterally walked straight into/overpeople getting off the 7 at Queensboro plaza. and if they protest...then i glare.

someday, im gonna get shot. (related aside: i gave the disspointed irish mother look to some dude that almost killed me in a crosswalk on driggs and n. henry yesterday...and was then almost killed again)

jfr: providing good reason for sterilization

ok...enough i cant be in this office anymore...storm or no storm. Shuttle (easily most horrific train), here i come. then to see what its like riding the 2/3 to park slope

I didn't want to make an SDD ref, but if that's the consensus, then so be it. DOES CAPITALISM REALLY NEED "A SUCKER BORN EVERY MINUTE?"

when they stand to the side in the doorway in FREAKING UNION SQ. fuck you douchebags

awesome i do that!

― gabbneb, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 21:23 (eighteen years ago)

i voted 7 as im about to get on it.

gabbneb is waiting to see which line is electable.

― Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 21:26 (eighteen years ago)

man i fucking forgot the JMZ!
i was hi.

― ian, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 21:27 (eighteen years ago)

gabbneb is waiting to see which line is electable

i voted 9

― gabbneb, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 21:29 (eighteen years ago)

and also, voting for the L train as the best train makes you a bad person, especially since there are often latenight service changes and delays.

― ian, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 21:31 (eighteen years ago)

I voted A because of:

1) AirTrain
2) no JMZ

― Steve Shasta, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 21:32 (eighteen years ago)

I hear that the Marcy ave stop is TOTALLY REAL.

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude ‫茄蕃‪, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 21:33 (eighteen years ago)

:-|

― Steve Shasta, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 21:33 (eighteen years ago)

the L doesn't really go to any very interesting places or cool parks or food :/ it's all pretty samey.

a vote for the L is a vote for mediocrity.

― bell_labs, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 21:38 (eighteen years ago)

OTM

― ian, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 22:37 (eighteen years ago)

didn't they get rid of the 9 train? I hadn't needed to ride it for a year and when I went to catch it I was so confused. It used to be the 2,3 and 1,9 until recently.

-- Yerac, Wednesday, May 16, 2007 11:25 AM (7 hours ago)

ok see i thought i was losing my mind!

n - awesome to brooklyn, suxors to queens.
l - clean, don't mind it on the way home bc i almost always get a seat, but often makes me v. angry in am when it stops in the tunnel btw union and 6th ave for 10 minutes when all i wanna do is transfer to the freaking f train!
v - i like this train because it gets me to/from work, like the f, but is less crowded (especially during evening rush hour).

guys i was on this crazy insane new n (or was it q, i can't remember!) train the other day. it had an lcd tv screen thing telling you about the stops!!!

― tehresa, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 22:39 (eighteen years ago)

those are the new conductorless trains, right? EXPERIMENTAL

I haven't been on one yet

― dmr, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 22:59 (eighteen years ago)

I think they're on the N / W line

― dmr, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 22:59 (eighteen years ago)

A vote for the L train is a vote for getting laid dog

― JW, Thursday, 17 May 2007 00:31 (eighteen years ago)

a vote for gettings aids, lol

― bell_labs, Thursday, 17 May 2007 00:38 (eighteen years ago)

― JW, Thursday, 17 May 2007 00:57 (eighteen years ago)

i would like to vote for the L train as many times as possible, assuming jon isn't lying.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 17 May 2007 01:04 (eighteen years ago)

oh damn poll over already. i never even voted!

― tehresa, Thursday, 17 May 2007 01:05 (eighteen years ago)

― JW, Thursday, 17 May 2007 01:06 (eighteen years ago)

i demand a repoll (this time with airtrain and JMZ)

― Steve Shasta, Thursday, 17 May 2007 01:25 (eighteen years ago)

airtrain should be included in subway fare.

― tehresa, Thursday, 17 May 2007 01:26 (eighteen years ago)

there was a beautiful puerto rican woman on my F train this afternoon. i tried real hard not to leer. when i got off she saw me through the window and waved goodbye sarcastially.

:(

― sanskrit, Thursday, 17 May 2007 01:29 (eighteen years ago)

airtrain is prohibitively expensive, why not just take a cab at that point?

― bell_labs, Thursday, 17 May 2007 01:35 (eighteen years ago)

i mean, i take the bus if i'm that broke

― bell_labs, Thursday, 17 May 2007 01:36 (eighteen years ago)

exactly! oh god the day i spent going back and forth to jfk on the jmz/a/airtrain/walking around long term parking in the rain bc i left keys at home but then couldn't find them when i went back and had to call a fucking locksmith = no more airtrain love.

― tehresa, Thursday, 17 May 2007 01:37 (eighteen years ago)

i don't get it:

airtrain = $5
taxi = $45

― Steve Shasta, Thursday, 17 May 2007 01:59 (eighteen years ago)

not that a cab can't take just as long, but subway to airtrain is a lengthy trip and a hassle if you've got much luggage. good for meeting arrivals though.

― gabbneb, Thursday, 17 May 2007 02:03 (eighteen years ago)

airtrain to A/E is faster into lower manhattan in my experience.

― Steve Shasta, Thursday, 17 May 2007 02:14 (eighteen years ago)

yeah but who the fuck lives in lower manhattan?

― ian, Thursday, 17 May 2007 02:16 (eighteen years ago)

i am going to make another poll with all the options and a longer duration.

― ian, Thursday, 17 May 2007 02:16 (eighteen years ago)

― gabbneb, Monday, 21 May 2007 13:47 (eighteen years ago)

i hate the airtrain so much. the free bus that used to go through long term parking from the subway to the airport took just as long as the airtrain but was free.

― Yerac, Monday, 21 May 2007 15:15 (eighteen years ago)

The L line has added riders at a faster pace than the subway system as a whole, according to data from New York City Transit. The busiest station on the Brooklyn part of the line is Bedford Avenue, in Williamsburg, which had 4.99 million riders pass through the turnstiles last year, the agency reported. That was a 139 percent increase from 1995, when 2.09 million riders entered the station. Over all, subway ridership increased 46 percent in the same period.

― mizzell, Tuesday, 22 May 2007 14:00 (eighteen years ago)

wait does the free bus not run to jfk anymore? that is obnoxious, if true.

fuck a airtrain.

― bell_labs, Tuesday, 22 May 2007 14:03 (eighteen years ago)

That bus that used to drive through long-term parking, though, was subject to the conditions of many many parking lots. I've missed a plane before because the bus was stopped at a bottleneck caused by ONE SUV that had parked in an entrance and the person walked away -- returning just as the towtruck was driving up to pull it away, but by that time we lost 20 mins.

I try to get to the airport earlier these days, but these things happen....

― Laurel, Tuesday, 22 May 2007 14:06 (eighteen years ago)

i use the subway like once a month. though i like the thing on the L now where they tell you when next one is coming.
that's probably not even that new!

― noizez duk, Thursday, 24 May 2007 03:04 (eighteen years ago)

the airtrian thing though, it still stops at all the long term parking. mebbe you don't have to wait in traffic to get OUT of it, but you stll have to go there. ugh. fuck a airtrain, indeed.

― tehresa, Thursday, 24 May 2007 04:02 (eighteen years ago)

THE ONE AND THE Q?

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude ‫茄蕃‪, Thursday, 24 May 2007 06:05 (eighteen years ago)

waaay back when i lived on 14th & 9th the L was like a super-obscure train, decrepit old cars, ran about once an hour. the trendy meatpack district was a no man's land then, well no woman's land actually.

and the 1 train is kinda fucked, it's always mysteriously delayed or suddenly starts running express just in time for you to miss yr stop.

― m coleman, Thursday, 24 May 2007 10:20 (eighteen years ago)

i like the thing on the L now where they tell you when next one is coming. that's probably not even that new!

In NYC it is! God knows when the other lines will get it.

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Sunday, 10 February 2008 00:55 (seventeen years ago)

yup

I think I'm gonna chance it on the g anyway to get up to warsaw (guestlist for liars landed in my lap so we're gonna go)

― dmr, Sunday, 10 February 2008 01:05 (seventeen years ago)

I love the NW from Ditmars--always get a seat, always a train waiting at the station so you can sit down inside and not wait out in the cold, and stunning views. It's terribly slow and stops every few yards it seems, but who cares when it's not that crowded and the most annoying people on it are young dramatic artist wannabes.

I like the 7 reverse commute in the mornings because it comes about every 1 to 2 minutes, and again the views. I love the cars that run outisde--I feel so much less penned in. I took the 7 (no express trains for the time being) out to Flushing the other day though and it took forever. Once you cross Flushing Park it seems you're heading into no-man's land.

I like the R/V reverse commute in the morning because it runs at least every 5 minutes, but I can't really say anything else nice about it. The outward-bound V and F seems smellier in Queens than in Manhattan--which makes no sense because they are the same trains. The F out by Jamaica seems pretty destitute. The annoying thing about waiting for the V is that you are always tricked by a noisy, express F barrelling by.

― Virginia Plain, Sunday, 10 February 2008 01:58 (seventeen years ago)

The F train was skipping 14th Street this weekend too, so I stayed home and decongested.

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Monday, 11 February 2008 21:06 (seventeen years ago)

The thing is that shuttle buses usually come way more often than trains do! Well they have to, cos they hold fewer people, don't they. But when the G was down a few weeks ago it meant you were standing on the curb for less time than you'd stand on the platform. Dunno how it is when the L is on hold.

pretty much the same! for me, when they are shuttling, i can just walk to lorimer so it's not a big deal. even last few weekends' not running to 8th ave and skipping 3rd avenue and switching trains at bedford was really not bad, because they did seem to run more frequently and who needs to use 3rd avenue stop anyway when you have 1st and union square?

the L shuttle kind of blows because that means you have to take the wburg bridge to get across the river

that might get my vote for most aromatic station. it's pretty powerful.
