R Is For “Rancid,” Say Straphangers
With the city investing millions of dollars into a Second Avenue subway and a new and improved Atlantic Avenue station, straphangers in southern Brooklyn can’t help but say, “What about us?”
Ridgeite William Robb said that the city’s attention to infrastructure in Bay Ridge “can only be described as anemic, at best.”
Robb, who has ridden the subways for 45 years, said that cars on the R train are incredibly dirty. He contends that workers, especially at the 95th Street station, spend only seconds collecting litter and mopping cars.
