Who likes the ride on the (L) between Bushwick Avenue-Aberdeen Street and Atlantic Avenue as the (L) elevates and crosses over the (J)(Z) at "Broadway Junction"? And what a fun transfer from the (L) to the (A)(C) also.

The R160s on the L have a sing song sound when accelerating or decelerating. The R143 makes 1 sound that changes in pitch (if this is the correct way to describe it!)

And the L will become even more crowded once the recession abates. High rises along the East River in Williamsburg and loads of condos going up around McCarren Park in addition to the rest of the neighborhood. There are many vacant units just waiting to fill up. The G ridership should also increase.

A bad video on You Tube shows two English visitors subway surfing on the (L). They get on the threshold of the last car on a set of R143s. Holding on to the grab rails on each side, they ride two stops to Morgan Avenue. They possibly would have had more fun had they surfed between Bushwick-Aberdeen and Atlantic Avenue, I think.
