Walked down Willoughby Street lately?Construction of the longed-for pedestrian tunnel between the R/M trains’ Lawrence Street station and the A/C/F trains’ Jay Street station has been going on since July, but recently it's had a major impact on the western end of Willoughby Street, as can be seen in the above photo.
The transfer tunnel under Willoughby Street will probably attract more riders to the Lawrence Street and Jay Street stations, which combined handle roughly 35,000 passengers per week, according to the Brooklyn Eagle.
All those years that I paid two fares between the R and the F Train (it was convenient and it's too long of a story to go into--alright it had to do with a woman I loved) and now that I've retired they're going to have a free transfer. Can't I get refunds?
