the mta has nine subway lines, irt and bmt, the lirr and the station is a wreck-
eg whenever it rains the station rain too, and the only easy transfer is from the lirr to the untown 2 and 3 lines- otherwise you have to walk up and domn a million steps.
at the Q platform, which is closed periodiaclly for construction, there has been new tiles placed, but they now look older than the redbirds, and the track floods every other day or so
also when tiling the northbound wall, they left a gap about 3 feet from the ceiling to the tiles which is ugly as hell
also when traveling on the lirr, the lirr termianal is so bad that they are trying to scare away commuters (i think) because there are pipes just sticking of of everywhere, leaking, banging, and the station is extremely dimly lit
i always get a luagh when i see the new metrotech building being built on top of the terminal, and see that they have built more infrastucture in a week than the mta in 10 years.
i think this is the station with the most potential.
btw i take the lirr to flatbush every morning then the Q
