But if you want the ultimate in transportation, seriously consider investing in a personal automobile.

But then I would be accused of causing congestion.

My main gripe is that it seems like the Queens express riders always get the short end of the stick. In 2001, quality F service was sacrificed so the V train could be created. The F no longer heads to where the majority of the people want to go (besides Goldwater Hospital there isn't anything of interest on Roosevelt Island). Now, in the year 2008 people want weekend E express service to be sacrificed so a few impetuous Queens local riders can have their way. Ironically, most local riders end up transfering to the E at Roosevelt. I understand that many Subchatters are well educated and they think that by running the E local they are optimizing capacity on Queens Blvd. However, there's a thing called marginal cost. The marginal cost of running the E local would be encouraging more people to drive on weekends. Trivial statistics can't measure customer satisfaction.
