Nightmarish details of southern Brooklyn subway rides revealed in survey
Subway service is so lousy in southwest Brooklyn that at least one resident turned down an employment opportunity in Manhattan to avoid a nightmarish commute to work, an eye-opening survey has found.
“I actually decided not to take a job in Midtown because the commute is too inconsistent and risky,” one respondent wrote on a southern Brooklyn transit survey conducted by State Sen. Andrew Gounardes.
The survey, which Gounardes and his staff conducted between April and June, also found that frustrated riders adjust their work schedules to save themselves from transit headaches.
