Bad news for B train commuters: starting September 28, the MTA will cease express service along the B route for two years, due to repairs and restorations, according to the Daily News. Local service will continue, but this will lengthen the commutes for residents of Midwood, Sheepshead Bay, Flatbush, Brighton Beach, and Coney Island. Nixon Williams, one such commuter, complained to the News: “The train just keeps getting more expensive, and the service gets worse.” What else is new.
