The MTA has gifted us with another light service change weekend, probably to appease us before the L train takes its sad five-weekend nap. But commuters, beware! There are still a few wonky interruptions that'll pull your pants down and taunt you RIGHT when you think you've picked the best spot to stand for prime transferring, finally proving to yourself and all the other straphangers ignoring you that you ARE A REAL NEW YORKER, DAMMIT.
