Posted by straphanger9 on Tue Apr 29 12:26:11 2008, in response to Re: 71st Ave-Continental-Forest Hills question, posted by BrooklynBus on Tue Apr 29 10:08:31 2008. LOL. One of my favorites was a lady I ran into in the tunnel between the 2/3 and 4 at Court St/Boro Hall. She wanted to get to Bergen St. I ask her "Bergen St. on the 2/3 ...or Bergen St. on the F?""Bergen St. on the F." Of course in Brooklyn, that's pretty inconvenient to try and do from Court/Boro, probably better off walking or bussing it. But she's already in the fare control So I give her the best directions possible: "Get the R that's heading to Bay Ridge, and take it to the stop at 9th St./4th Ave. Then go upstairs, get a Manhattan bound F and take it to Bergen." Since there was a map nearby on a billboard, I even showed her so she wouldn't give me that "I've never taken that train before...are you SURE it's going to work??" look. "OK, so where do I get the train?" Well with me on my way to Junior's via DeKalb, I told her "You can get it in this station, just follow the signs. I'm getting the R too, so you can just follow me." So she follows me the whole long walk to the escalators for the R, then sees someone else just short of the escalator. Asks them for directions. "How do I get to Bergen St?" And as I'm going down the escalator I hear "Back that way, 2 train..." Last thought as Im going down the escalator "wrong Bergen St..." |
