The tracks don't need work.
The weekend schedule of the subway does though.
One of the best aspects of NYC is that there is a lot of public transportation to take and it isn't priced that badly. Sure it wasn't always $2 for a subway ride but you can get really far for 2 bucks. There is nothing I love more than saving money and getting the most I can for a buck.
The subway was atrocious and failed me this weekend.
The subway always had a lame weekend schedule. If there is ever a time that people wanted to take the train, aside from rush hour, it's weekend late nights. When do they drastically cut back service? Weekend late nights. It was even worse this weekend because you basically couldn't find a train into Brooklyn Heights. I know the N replaces the M/R late nights but not this weekend. No, it was re-routed for "maintenance". What has to be maintained? Certainly not the cleanliness. Not that I care, the dirtiness gives it the character I love.
I am fully aware that you can transfer lines but the problem with that stems back to the weekend late night schedule problem. I have never seen a shortage of people that were either on the train or waiting on the platform. No one wants to wait 25 minutes per transfer.
I've never run into this problem before. If you only need to ride one train home and it is one of the few that hasn't been cancelled altogether, even a 20 minute wait isn't that shabby.
However for the next two weekends, don't bother with M/R/N, and just split the cab with 3 other people to begin with.

Hey nice blog, On an unrelated topic: I know all about having facial moles. I had a huge black mole right next to my nose and I was going to pay a doctor to laser it off. I found this herbal medicine online at Mole Remedy and it said it would take it off. I gave it a try and believe me my mole fell off in two days. I was in total shock but you should have seen my husbands face.
Wow. That is some great spam.
Nice to Mole you!
