    I don't use this line too often. It runs from Queens thru Manhattan and then back through Brooklyn. I haven't ridden it end to end since I was a kid but it's a pretty long ride still I'm sure. It runs through the West Side in Manhattan. As far as on time and how long the waits are, it's generally been ok for me when I have used this line. It was been during the day and during the week so not sure about the off hours. That usually when services starts to get spotty. The trains themselves are not the new new ones but aren't the old ones either. They don't have the stops listed and the announcements are hit or miss depending on the conductor and/or the train car you're in.

    I love to hate the F. It gets me to DUMBO from the 2nd Avenue stop--after 4 uptown trains have passed us by; oh, wait, two of those were A trains. (Weekend service.) The F in Brooklyn is the slowest thing I've ever seen. There's no express? WTF? Could be worse, I guess. (I don't even want to test that theory; just when things are as bad as you thought they could get, the MTA always manages to make it worse.)

    4/11/18 - Morning rush hour Smith-9th. Everybody off!

    Morning rush hour commutes have been severely delayed twice this week (4/11/18, 4/12/18). Does anyone have any suggestions about organizing efforts to protest or get a message to the MTA to improve service?

    What don't you see? The F train! It's not coming as usual.

    Why is the F train called the "F" train, is something you may have wondered. But if you've wondered this, you have not taken the F train during rush hour, on the weekend, or late at night. Because if you have taken the F train during rush hour, on the weekend, or late at night you'll have said various F-words in your head countless times, wishing you could scream them out loud every so often. Years ago I had the displeasure of riding the F from 71st and Continental to Jay St during early morning rush hour every day. It'd be heavily packed when it arrived that not everyone was able to get on. Usually you wouldn't be able to get to get a seat until Rockefeller Center. It'd also stop, usually on a slant or weird angle, somewhere between 71st and Roosevelt, or not to long after passing Roosevelt, due to "train traffic" or some other bull they'll never really explain to us. Really sucks to be standing on a slanted train with broken intercoms for 10-20 minutes at a time. I know they've added a lot of newer trains now, not sure how much better they are during rush hour (I have my doubts), but they are missing the only comfort I had on the F train, the nice corner seats, you only had to sit next to one other person and could lean against the wall. They were great. As for other hell rides on this train, during the weekend they often take long time to come (but it's usually not too bad) and sometimes go local in Queens which is truely hell. During the late night hours, service is the absolute worst, and the train usually gets stuck multiple times. If you can take the LIRR, you're far better off doing so.

    It would have been easier to catch the F train at 179th and Hillside Ave for convenience.

    IMPORTANT: Luna Park and Deno's Wonder Wheel Amusement Park are NOT the same and require a…read moredifferent plastic card with ride credits. To make it even more confusing, Cyclone is part of Luna Park but sells a separate card for the Cyclone only (booth in front of the ride). Crazy. Deno's has the legendary Wonderwheel and a few other small rides. Luna Park has way more: Cyclone, SlingShot, Thunderbolt, ElectroSpin, etc. Also worth noting, there's no clear indication that you are walking around Deno's or Luna Park. Deno's is kinda embedded and Luna Park kinda surrounds Deno's. It's all VERY confusing. All that said, both offer an awesome time. Just do it.

    I just went with my wife and 8-year old daughter and had a great time…read more I really liked the fact that you're not forced to buy a wristband, if you don't want to. We first strolled the place to see what we wanted to do (not busy at all at opening time and basically no lines until the afternoon). Then we decided to just buy a $100 card (with $15 bonus in it) and used it as a credit card to buy rides AND food. If you're planning to stay all day long and fit as many rides as you can, you should get a wristband. Otherwise, if you're just going low key just for 4-5 hours like we did, and are satisfied with a few rides, games and food, paying as you go will be cheaper. Rides are VERY well kept and look fairly new, and restrooms are available (with drinking water).
