Subway Service on Weekends Is F@#%ed
We long ago gave up trying to take the subway on the weekends. Life’s too short, so it’s the bicycle or car for us. This view was confirmed last weekend when it took an out-of-town friend an hour and a half on Saturday afternoon to get from Midtown to Clinton Hill. So it was no…

We long ago gave up trying to take the subway on the weekends. Life’s too short, so it’s the bicycle or car for us. This view was confirmed last weekend when it took an out-of-town friend an hour and a half on Saturday afternoon to get from Midtown to Clinton Hill. So it was no surprise to read this lede in The Post this morning: “Here’s a subway service notice: Use your car on the weekends!” A group called the Transit Riders Council has studied subway service over the past two weekends. The bottom line: “It’s bedlam,” said Andrew Albert, a member of the council as well as the MTA board.

What a lahooser.
tybur — i’ll give some consideration to buying something too crappy to steal, but I might not want to go there…
Oooh… Mazda. That’s the other one on the High-Theft list. Honda, Mazda and Acura. Great cars, just very “popular.” 🙂
mazda 6 is a nice car. Maybe a tad large 4 u.
Even though I didn’t vote? 🙂
Not sure about the Mazda 6. I was getting a little overwhelmed with researching and just zeroed in on the civic/corolla.
You can e-mail me at northsloperenter at gmail dot com if you like.
Brenda…good point. And the A train express not running to JFK is truly pathetic. Only city in the world without fast service to the airports…truly pathetic.
Hey northsloperenter…
I’ve got a 2003 Mazda 6 with only 43k miles on it. You can have it for 7.5k.
BTW, a BIG part of the reason I want a car is having a toddler. Kids seriously complicate travel (just for laughs, next time you call up your favorite car service, ask them if they can send over a car with a child safety seat installed — or ask your rental car agent if he could hurry up with processing your car rental because your kid is throwing a temper tantrum).
If it weren’t for the kid, I’d be happy just renting cars as needed.
tiptoe — well, I guess I’ll find out! I can always drive up to north slope and park there if things get too bad.
lincoln — thanks for the tip, but I’d rather get something newer.
rob — lol, aren’t people paying enough attention to you?
chicken — sounds like an absolute nightmare
Chicken — Most kibbutzim in Israel have shared cars. Usually a car for every 15 families. 🙂
