Can Roosevelt Islanders like Lynn count on you to pass a full funding plan in the next state budget to #FixTheSubway starting with congestion pricing? pic.twitter.com/OWaAslz11j
The Roosevelt Island Twitterverse concurs:

@MTA Passengers at the Roosevelt Island station have not been able to board Manhattan-bound F trains for about seven or eight trains now. Been waiting for 45 minutes to boardSharon Kim (@sharonsooyeon) January 24, 2019
This has been this way for years.Steve Day (@sjdayny1) January 24, 2019
The MTA has done nothing measurable to change this. Maybe shifting the M line to run to Roosevelt Island along with the existing F line might work. Something has to be done.
