Lost the #mta lottery today. F not stopping at Queensbridge, so I had to walk to #Queens plaza. Caught an F, but its delayed and trains are now turning around at Roosevelt Ave, so... I'll have to find a bus or something.

Good morning y'all!

The #MTA has a customer satisfaction survey out: https://bit.ly/mtacustomerscountsurvey

Will they actually listen? MTA's track record isn't exactly great, but I took the survey anyway.

Taking the survey also gives you a chance to win a $50 #OMNY card!

The line for the #Q23 was so long that it actually wrapped around back towards the #bus stop. No frequent service here!

Unfortunately all of these people will likely have to board the bus one by one at the front, because we insist upon charging fares upon entry for a service that should be free. I imagine that takes a while.
