Engage Brain Before Posting

That's a good rule, one I've broken from time to time.

But this one, from Oddly Specific, is a prime example of why it is a good idea to think for a few seconds.


Read the signs and note the days of the week. The MTA apparently shutting down half of the tracks on the A line from midnight until 5 AM for maintenance. Saturdays through Mondays, the uptown trains are using the downtown tracks. Tuesdays through Fridays, the downtown trains are using the uptown tracks.

I haven't been on a NYC subway since they shifted from using tokens to farecards, but this is not that hard to figure out, people.

Which is why it's a good idea to clutch in the brain before posting something.

1 Brickbats Thrown:

  1. The only thing I can think of is that some of the trains stop on the "TRACK" and the others stop on the "PLATFORM". I'd watch out for the second....

    This isn't nearly as confusing as the "E/V train will use the F route after 1am between Lexington and 14th St....." when there is no map around.
