John Liu Knows What LL Cool J Knows About What You Can Do With Six Minutes

Of course the lede buried here is that express trains only save you six minutes:

Mets fans can now shave six minutes off their trips home with the service change recently announced by the MTA. Starting last Thursday, the 7 train will now offer express service from the Shea Stadium station.

The move marks the second time in the past few weeks that the MTA has made an effort to improve 7 train service. The first, reported in last week’s paper, was the “Rider Report Cards” that were distributed to riders.

Councilman John Liu, chairperson of the City Council’s Transportation Committee, applauded the change. He called the six minutes “an eternity to any subway riders frustrated by all the local stops on the Number 7 line.”
