No kidding.
I remember sometime after 9/11, I was taking the E or F from Kew Gardens/Union Tpke to go to school. There was some sort of accident ahead, or somebody was sick, or whatever. The point is that we weren't going to move for a long time. So I took an E back to Jamaica Center and transferred to a J or Z (don't remember which).
Normally, the E or F takes only about 30-40 minutes to get to West 4th Street. But the J and Z, because they were local trains, took more than an hour to reach Lower Manhattan. It was a shitty experience that I thankfully have not had to repeat.
