We knew F train shuttles were expected next year, but it seems whatever the opposite of Christmas is has come early! According to the Brooklyn Paper, the MTA will replace weekend train service between Jay Street in Downtown Brooklyn and Church Avenue in Kensington with shuttle buses in order to work on portions of the elevated line. This starts February 20th and will last "for an unspecified number weekends over the next 11 months." The agency says they'll try to inform straphangers of the exact dates to expect the shuttle buses, and so far they have confirmed the weekend of the 20th and 27th. On the upside, maybe you can become the Mayor on Foursquare?
