What would it have cost to place an additional sign or two at each landing on the stairway, as well as tape. A person passing one set of signs or even pulled tape would or should have to notice the second set. Just a thought.Mike |

A large sign saying "Station Closed- NO SERVICE". The sign they used could even lead someone to think it was only the N that wasn't running. Us NYers know there's no Q service there on the weekend, but out of towners are likely to be less familiar with subway vernacular. |

The reason why the staircases weren't taped off is because people still probably needed to get access to the MVM's.Who the fucks vacations in NYC and stays in Astoria? |

Who the fucks vacations in NYC and stays in Astoria?People looking for an alternative to expensive Manhattan hotels that's also easy to get to with a cab (or van shuttle) ride from the airport? Why do you think AirBNB is doing so well? |

A lot of people actually. Younger tourists want to save money and have no problem with taking public transport for a quick ride into manhattan. |

One year when I was in Boston I stayed at a hotel in Milton at the end of the Riverside Line overlooking the rail yard. It was cheaper than downtown Boston and extremely convenient to public transport to downtown. On previous visits, IO would often stay at a motel in the Brighton section which was right off the Commonwealth Av Line and a short walk to the Brookline Village station of the Riverside Line both of which provided easy access to downtown and a lot cheaper rate than a hotel in downtown Boston. |
