B / Q / F Line Subway Service Advisories: 7/8 – 7/12/2013
Fans of the Ditmas Park area, I’m sorry to say that your travels to-and-fro’ will be curtailed until “Mid Fall 2013.” Much like the station rehab that saw broad swaths of Sheepshead Bay subway service (local in one way, express in the other) for years, the MTA is shuttering some local service down the line for the same reason. Except they get months. We get years, they get months. Well, que sera sera, and all that lovely jazz.
Here are this week’s subway service advisories. Don’t cry.
