The L's cross-borough service is set to go poof at 11:30 p.m. again, but straphangers on the train of Luuuuuuuuuurve aren't the only ones set to pen some angry tweets this weekend. And they won't even get cheap UberPOOL rides! It's always a good idea to live off a subway that's earned its place as a media darling.
Here's what's on tap this weekend:

A trains will not run between Ozone Park-Lefferts Boulevard and Rockaway boulevard in either direction. Howard Beach/Far Rockaway-bound A trains will also skip 88th Street.

The F will run local from Roosevelt Avenue to Forest Hills-71st Avenue on the Jamaica-179th Street bound track, and Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue bound F trains will run local from Forest Hills-71st Avenue to 21st Street-Queensbridge. That change takes place from 12:30 a.m. Saturday to 5 a.m. Monday.
