"Q Train" (pastel on paper, 22 x 30) by Nigel van Wieck

What more appropriate way is there for the MTA to help inaugurate the first weekend of the 2011 Christmas shopping season than with [cue dramatic music]

W  E  E  K  E  N  D  !

S  E  R  V  I  C  E  !

C  H  A  N  G  E  S  !

If you must travel on the Q line north of Prospect Park, and transferring to the N or R, and schlepping around on shuttle buses isn’t your thing, then, in the parlance of our times, you are S.O.L.

The changes, according to MTA.info, beginning at 12:01 a.m. tomorrow morning, are as follows:

  • 12:01 AM Sat to 5 AM Mon, Nov 26 – 28
  • No Q trains between 57 St-7 Av and Prospect Park
For service between:
  1. 57 St-7 Av and Atlantic Av-Pacific St, take the N or R instead.
  2. Atlantic Av-Pacific St and Prospect Park, use free shuttle buses instead.

For those of you venturing out on the rails tomorrow and Sunday, travel safely and enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend.
