gutsy move by andrew c. not to close the subway

no notable delays on the Q/R... MTA is now issuing delay warnings just as a corporate condom most likely.

a street car doesn't require approval from Cuomo which is probably the biggest factor in DeBlasio pushing for this.

OTM. Subway system so much needs a divorce from the MTA, but I can't imagine how that would realistically happen.

So I got my motorcycle permit for my 40th birthday, and have been riding my scooter to school every day that it doesn't rain. Sorry, MTA! (No fucks were actually given in the making of this awesome decision.)

Nice, I used to commute to work by scooter from Astoria to the Flatiron district. Loved that ride.

Be careful with just your permit though -- periodically mc/scooter "safety" checkpoints are set up around the city and they'll impound your scooter if they catch you without a mc license (they also check for inspection sticker and current plate registration sticker). I often got pulled over on 2nd Ave just south of the Queensboro Bridge.

Due to an unruly passenger at York St, southbound F trains are running with delays.

Allow additional travel time.
