SSDD. I'm standing at Broad Channel the other day and sure enough an A comes into the station headed out toward Far Rock. The destination signs all along the train? 207th Street! There's a problem here people!

ANOTHER THING: A transfer on a Metro Card is valid for only TWO HOURS from the second you swipe it at your origin. On Saturday it took me THREE... THREE... THREE HOURS JUST TO GET FROM ROCK PARK TO 207TH STREET! 3! THREE! HOURS! BY THE TIME I ARRIVED AT THE END OF THE LINE I HAD TO PAY ANOTHER FARE! SOME OF US HAVE TO TAKE A BUS TO GET TO THE A IN ROCK PARK. ONE FARE. TRANSFER TO THE TRAIN. FREE TRANSFER. SOME OF US HAVE TO TAKE ANOTHER BUS IN THE CITY. ANOTHER FARE. BUT IF WE'RE LUCKY ENOUGH TO JUST NEED ONE BUS A THE END OF THE LINE AND THE MTA IS OFFERING FREE TRANSFER FROM TRAIN TO BUS THEN THEY BETTER GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER AND MAKE SURE THAT WE GET TO THE BUS ON TIME!
