The F train stopped running express way back in 1977 due to “severe budget constraints”, and apparently not a lot has changed in the past 30 years.
Many regular Fers long for those good old days when the F wasn’t so damn slow. While most local pols are eagerly campaigning for an F express there’s still one holdout who’s not so eager to lube up and stroke his voters into some sort of electric transitory voting frenzy.
“There have been many issues with severe noises and vibrations adjacent to the F train tunnels,” said Assemblyman James Brennan (D-Park Slope).
Prospect Park and Park Slope are the highest points in Brooklyn and trains gather extra momentum going downhill, causing further damage, he said.
“The F express could be a significant option for the public, but needs to be implemented with careful testing,” Brennan said, noting some F train tunnels were not built deep enough and many homeowners’ basements are right on top of them.
What do you think? Park Slopers, Fers. Do you want an F express or not?
