Sometimes if I am in downtown Brooklyn, I'll get on the M at Lawrence, but usually; I take the F to Essex. That's faster.Haha, I did that for two years! I went to school on Jay St for two years, and that's the two years I was ready to kill whoever thought it was a good idea to tear down the Myrtle El! Originally, I would take the M from Forest Ave all the way to Lawrence St. But I was absolutely miserable. the trek down Nassau and through that hell tunnel was enough to make me crazy. After week of that, I tried the B54 bus connection, and that was a hell bus ride, so that lasted all of a day. Then I tried getting off at Essex, and took the F to Jay St, and kinda liked that. I also tried the M to the J to Bway Junction for the A to Jay St as I always found it ridiculous to go all the way into Manhattann just to go back to Brooklyn again....but after a month of the trial and error, I did the Essex-Delancey to the F thing for the remainer of the two years while I went there.... And you are right, it is faster with the M and F in a two seat ride than the hellish trek down Nassau and through Montague with the M in one seat ride to Lawrence! Then I tranfered to Baruch, and became a daily M to the L rider (there's that midtown again.....) for a few years. As for me, my travel habits changed from year to year depending on school I was attending, jobs, etc. I rarely used Nassau more than occasionally. If I wanted to go to Chinatown for something, or to the WTC ever so occasionally I would get off at Broad St, but it was very rare that I would venture south of Essex, or Canal St. For one semester I had a class over by the Clark St 2/3 station in brooklyn, and once a week I took the 2/3 to Fulton St, but that was only once a week for one semester, and thankfully back then the M still ran through all day, but nowadays the M ends at Chambers, so it would have made much of a difference whether I changed from the J to the M at Chambers, Essex, or even Myrtle-Bway, so I truly don't see many people missing the M on Nassay, as more than half the time it doesn't even go past Chambers anyway, and anyone coming south of there has to use the J anyway. |
