I think my head is going to explode

More people will be affected by subway re-routing in New York City this weekend then if the entire Washington Metro were to close.

At first blush, I don't know if I'd be able to figure out the new system to the extent I'm comfortable with the old lines. Already, when I go back home to visit, I have to deal with the W and the V, which didn't exist before. Now the B,D,N,R and Q are all going every which way but the way they used to go.

But things may be returning to closer to normal. The B and D run on 6th Ave and the N and R run on Broadway, just like they used to during the mid-90s, except that the N will be an express through Manhattan, which would have saved me quite a bit of time when I commuted from Lex to Whitehall. The Q runs express to Brighton, but the B replaces the D as the local on that route.

So everything is sort of back to normal, actually.

Got it?

Off topic, but this story in The Diamondback (the University of Maryland College Park newspaper) gave me a bit of hope in the future of mass transit (or at least transit riders):
