Its just some people here have no concept of local vs express trains. The OP took an R train from Union Sq to Bay Ridge and didn't bother looking at the map and realizing the trip would take him ~23 stops. Probably took the dude a good an hour and a half.. lol.
Lmao seriously it's freaking obvious. You take the literally the longest local & complain about speed when there's plenty of express options. Talk about a rhetorical question...
The OP sounds worse than some tourists who ask me for directions lol.
Yesterday, Tues, I got on the 4 at Lex/59th and it just barely was creeping along all the way to Union Sq. Then is went full speed ahead till I got off at Brklyn Bridge. At one point, a downtown 6 literally passed 4. Strange.
it could be that the tracks in BK need to be replaced and they navigate at slower speeds to avoid another derailment. obviously the older train cars need be replaced as well as some of them look like they are at least 40 years old.
Yeah, those cars are from mid-70s, and are likely going to be replaced within the next few years.

You mean Astoria down by Broadway? Because the (N) & (Q) cover the upper part of Astoria.

Yeah the Steinway/Broadway stop. I usually use it often when I go to Astoria from Woodhaven Blvd.
