It took a little while to get into swing this year, but my packed 7-train the last two days means it must be September. Wait there’s a disconnect, it’s 89 degrees out and the Mets are in first place in the NL East and a virtual lock for the post season. I’ve finally absorbed Queens being called the top destination in 2015, but the Mets still around? For the last seven years they’ve finished the season 17 to 25 games back, forcing their fans to embrace tennis if they wanted any sports action in Flushing come summer’s end. Plus ca change, but at least interest rates still remain the same.
The 7 Train is City’s Best – and Worst – Subway Line Studies Say – I agree

September 18, 2015 at 9:17 amThe 7 train is the second worst subway line. The worst is the line I take to and from the 7 for work = 4/5/6. I can’t win.

September 19, 2015 at 6:20 amI think people need to ride the other train lines before they call out the 7 as the worst. Because it really isn’t. It’s not perfect, but it runs like every 3 minutes during rush hour.

September 21, 2015 at 9:23 amI think the take away is that our 7 train sucks but it does not suck as much as the rest of them. Its like being the skinniest kid in fat camp.
I got to say, the 7 is crowded but I have not had unexpected shutdowns recently and for an elevated line it runs pretty well but there is always room for improvement.
