My fav lines are still the 1/9 for non-express service. Sure its crowded by there are several trains running. The 6 is ALWAYS packed, being the only local on the East Side.

The N(ever) and R(arely) going through Brooklyn are the WORST. Poor service, frequent stops due to "congestion" and the most run-down stations in the city.

In terms of availability and frequency, I think that the N gets a bad rap.

Just based on anecdotal evidence, the N is pretty good in lower Manhattan and Brooklyn.

As for the R, my preferred method is intensive prayer.

I think that God is the only person who can ameliorate that situation.

I agree that the system is way too Manhattan-centric.
