On the way home from work last night at about 8:10 I caught the Q34 bus at Roosevelt Avenue and Main Street. It takes a strange route in my neighborhood as it snakes around some side streets. It made a right turn at 32nd Road and Linden Place. All of a sudden about 4 ambulances blocked the street. I can understand one, but there must have been a serious situation for four ambulances to be at a scene. As the bus just sat there, I just had to get off and walk the rest of the way. It was only about 1/2 mile, but who knew how long the bus would stay there.

Strange Delay on the Q34 Bus
October 14, 2015I Just Missed a Horrific Delay on the #7 Train
October 1, 2015Last February I experienced the worst delay I ever encountered in all the years I have rode the NYC subway system. My commute on the #7 train this evening was pretty much normal as I rearched the Main Street Station at 5:30. After 6 PM I got messages on my iPhone that the entire #7 line was out due to SIGNAL PROBLEMS. About an hour later the 7 resumed with RESDIUAL DELAYS. That means crowded trains and constantly hearing “stand clear of the closing doors” umpteen times at each station.
Thankfully I missed this delay, but what is going on with maintenance on this line? For years stops are skipped for mainenance. Are the workers screwing up or what?
