FastTracks on my branch of the A train – totally blotched — Shuttle Buses, not the M4 as advertised running

The four days this week the MTA has brought FasTracks to my little branch of the A train between 207th Street and 168th Street. The service advisory was ripped with confusion.

Upload: The southern branch of PATH is here!

One tiny transit system in New York City, I’ve neglected for far too long is PATH, the Port Authority Trans Hudson. It’s one of the oldest transit lines in operation based around two sets of 100 year old tubes beneath the Hudson River.
