Roosevelt Island residents are not the only New Yorkers upset with the delays and overcrowding on the F Train. According to the Brooklyn Paper , residents of that borough are asking “What the F is going on” with the appropriately nicknamed “If” subway line. With the help of their local State Senator, Brooklyn F Train Riders were able to get the MTA to undertake a performance and infrastructure review of the subway line. The Brooklyn Paper reports:
… The Metropolitan Transportation Authority has begun a full performance review of Brownstone Brooklyns underground lifeline after repeated complaints that the trains name was actually the grade that most riders would give it.

Perhaps Roosevelt Island’s state elected officials, Senator Serrano and Assembly Member Kellner can get the MTA to extend their F Train performance review to include Roosevelt Island as well as Brooklyn!
