The MTA finally fixed the FML subway signage at 14th Street... except now it's more F'd up than before! Our photographer Katie Sokoler spotted the replacement stickers and tells us:
"One is a sign on the L platform that leads you to the L, M, M train. And the other is on the stairs and directs you to the L, F, L train. Which makes it more confusing is that those are the stairs that lead you to the 1,2,3 train. So not only is the sign wrong because it says L,F,L but it's wrong because it should actually be 1,2,3. There were tons of people that were confused and kept walking up and down the stairs trying to figure out which train is where."
