What Happened With the F Train Last Weekend?

Well, we got screwed by the F-train last weekend.

Hepcat and his mom (visiting from California) took the F train home from the Museum of Modern Art on Sunday and ended up on a shuttle bus from Jay Street Boro Hall. And we thought the shuttle bus thing was over. So did the Brooklyn Paper:

Shuttle busses replaced regular F train service again this weekend — and a “screw-up” by the Metropolitan Transit Agency left Brooklyn straphangers frustrated and confused.

So what happened? The Brooklyn Paper spoke to an agency spokesman, who was willing to take the blame.

“I screwed up,” the agency’s spokesman Charles Seaton told The Brooklyn Paper on Monday. Seaton was the official who had originally said that the ongoing track work on the elevated portion of the line between Park Slope and Carroll Gardens would no longer require the use of shuttle busses.

The humble admission of guilt did come with some caveat: Seaton said commuters could have learned about the service interruption on the MTA’s Web site, in stations or the popular MTA podcast “TransitTrax.”

According to the MTA’s online service advisory schedule: there will be no shuttles this weekend. Let's hope they mean it this time!
