Praise for the uncongested V train [AM New York article]
« on: December 31, 2007, 04:31:23 PM »
Some (like me) prefer the V train because you get a seat and it is only a bit slower:

I will always take it if it comes, rather than wait for an F. As the article says, it takes maybe 5 minutes longer.

Coming home in the evening, E and F trains are often queued up to get into 74th-Roosevelt because it takes so long to get all those passengers off at the station. The V train can sail by on the local track and make into the station sooner.

Pretty damning praise when the best you can say about the V line is that it's great because no one rides it. I gave up very quickly on being shoehorned into an E or F train. I'll stick to the 7 train with a fifty-fifty change to Express or LIRR if I'm late.
