I sure hope some blogger [hint, hint] can offer some suggestions for a work-around.<br /><br />For instance, I know I'm going to end up taking the J train a lot more; I also know I'm going to curse the MTA every time I try to get to Brooklyn from 14th street. Why can't they run shuttle buses? That's always been their strategy before.<br /><br />The G train is going to get very packed though; it's already pretty close to capacity most of the time. I sure wish they'd add one or two cars to a typical G train; right now, it's kind of like a toy train, with its four little cars.Scuba Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10326884503725331349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-48078347574616127932016-07-26T17:44:26.769-04:002016-07-26T17:44:26.769-04:00These posts are the perfect place to finish my col...These posts are the perfect place to finish my collection of gut-busting and innovative hipster jokes.

Maybe they'll make little pedestrian "islands" for the tourists to sit at cute little tables and gawk at the actual New Yorkers, just as they have at 42nd and at 34th Streets. Remember when it USED to be possible to take a bus down Broadway from uptown? (Particularly convenient from Lincoln Center late at night.) But hey, the powers that be decided we needed "traffic calming" [cue hysterical laughter] more than we need buses to serve the people who actually LIVE here.<br /><br />And when Manhattan below 96th St. becomes permanently gridlocked, I want full credit to be given to the geniuses who decided that having FEWER lanes for traffic, while massively increasing the number of people living in Manhattan, is how you fix "congestion". [Now all the bike riders will say "we don't need no stinking buses; if you can't ride a bike you don't belong here".]<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-35012296862488619642016-07-26T10:56:38.986-04:002016-07-26T10:56:38.986-04:00Good.

I think I'll continue to struggle and stay in the east village with high rent than deal with the hassle of commuting to Williamsburg, which is just as costly, if not more.

Widely available and economical thermoplastic polymer cords would propel a typically proportioned hipster commuter at high speed towards a giant foam landing pad that would temporarily replace the running track at 6th street in the East River Park. Use of helmets would be encouraged but not mandatory.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00286850413072642085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-42953308258112864162016-07-26T09:24:07.969-04:002016-07-26T09:24:07.969-04:00If you work in midtown, the G at Metropolitan to t...If you work in midtown, the G at Metropolitan to the E/M at Court Square isn't a bad option, but if you work or hang out in Chelsea/the Village/Flatiron/Gramercy, your commute just got a whole lot more fun.<br /><br />At least villagers can still take the M14 across town.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
