Commuters sound off on impending closure of Bay Ridge Avenue station
Are R-train riders about to encounter future nightmarish commutes? Some locals fear so.
Governor Andrew Cuomo made several announcements on Friday, January 8 regarding major changes to the subway system, including a massive closure of 30 subway stations designed to revamp and modernize each stop, both aesthetically and technologically.
“These cleaner, brighter stations will be easier to navigate, with better and more intuitive way finding, as well as a modernized look and feel,” the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) stated in a press release.
