Today is Day 5 of the Roosevelt Island Tram-less F Train Subway commute. It was just last Monday that Roosevelt Island Operating Corp. (RIOC) President Steve Shane officially shut down the Tram with a handshake


and work began on the six month Modernization Project.



The first morning of commuting went smoothly but how about the rest of the week? Here's two different opinions from Monday's subway report:

Commuting via Train has not been a problem all week. Let's hope the MTA keeps it that way

And:

Last night, 3/3 the subway stranded Roosevelt island commuters at around 6:30 from the city and from queens. My boyfriend got announcements when he got on the train at bryant park saying they would be taking the V line bc the F line signals were down and they would have to take the F back from Queensbridge. The problem is once they got there the F was not working at all and he was left to walk or wait for a bus for a half hour and on top of that ran into a little girl who was sick and her mother who couldn't speak english and couldn't find their way back to the island.
This is only week one, how much more are we going to have to take before MTA realizes that the subway and a few buses aren't going to do the trick.

Another reader suggested:

KEEP CALLING THE MTA ! THE MORE CALLS & LETTERS THEY RECEIVE, THE MORE THEY'LL DO.

If you want to take the reader's advice and contact the MTA's General Manager, here is his email address.

But wait. The MTA may have come up with a temporary solution to Roosevelt Island's tram-less commuters - The BUSTRAM.
