Southwest Brooklyn trains don’t make the grade
Local subway lines D, N and R barely get a passing grade in the summer 2012 State of the Subway report card, compiled by NYPIRGs Straphangers Campaign.
According to the report card, the Q is the best subway line overall and the C is the worst, but the routes that serve Southwest Brooklyn tied for 10th place out of the citys 20 subway lines.
According to the report, the three lines also scored below average on most of the issues that subway riders find most important: scheduled arrival times; chance of getting a seat; cleanliness of cars; how often cars break down and in-car announcement performance.
