State of the Subways 2016

So the 7 is ranked as the best for the third year in a row.

And the 5 still sucks.

7 has the most perverts. A lot of women on the 7 have to constantly look around them.

Of the lines I regularly take:

The 4/5/6 is terrible everywhere in manhattan
The 4 between 125th st and Lehman College is okay, but it takes longer than I'd expect
The 5 between Brooklyn College and Bowling Green is good. But as soon as you get to Bowling Green it becomes a madhouse.
The 1 between Marble Hill and 137th street is pretty good
The E and F between the east side and Forest Hills is pretty good
The B/Q between union square and kings highway is okay but unreliable

I use to take the A when I lived in Ozone Park. That train Sucks!

I now mainly use the R, M, or L whenever I take the train. All 3 ard vastly superior.

The L is probably alright until you hit near Bedford Ave. Once you get near Williamsburg you can't even get on the train in the morning due to the massive overcrowding. Also the trains while frequent, literally crawls through the tunnel during rush hours. It's like riding on the Spaceship Earth ride in Epcot where all the cars are back to back, but they crawl.

Express is probably a bit better since they skip most of the stops that the pervs get on/off of.

Last year I got a job near Union Square and during my training I had to work 9am so I experienced the L duribg rush hour. It was so bad nobody could get on at Bedford.

Thankfully I work later now and avoid that massive rush.
