With suspensions on the (4) Train during midday hours it made this process so much easier on where to go because I know I covered the (F) and (M) Trains post swap. But this swap also helped benefit this route and the (R), which is the reason I decided to do two midday roundtrips, one on the (E) and one on the (R). To say that it helped make QBL better is an understatement. I know it was controversial at first, but I said all along that once everyone got used to this pattern, it would be naturally easier to work with, and I was right. I know I did one pre-swap but I’m back and post swap is so much better and I hope you guys enjoy this.
