Okay, I feel like a dork for asking this, but is the B train gone? It doesn't come up on the MTA website anymore.

    I think the proper question to ask is, "Wherefore the G train?"

    I had been looking at the weekend summary, which would have one believe the B doesn't exist. Should've looked at the entire map. D'oh!!

    The B doesn't run on the weekends. It probably wouldn't help the unadulterated clusterfuck that is the Q on weekends, because they share track, but damn there has to be a better solution. I understand the F is going to be a bus soon and be one until the end of time. That's a miserable train.

    Agreed, and yet all of my friends that use it will defend it to the death.

    Is it going the way of the weekend Q? That will be a nightmare for our Windsor/PS/CH/etc. friends.

    Got on the F today after dropping off one of the Metuljcici at Saint Saviour. 41 minutes to Jay St. 41 fucking minutes. We sat for 15 minutes at Smith and Ninth. God, that train sucks.
