Woodside — Local services in New York

This is Woodside, which means elevated trains are loudly careening overhead, so everybody turns up their car stereos to drown out the noise, resulting in pure cacophony during much of the day and night. This station is under construction every other week, so you never know whether you will have a smooth commute, or have your day dump-holed by having to back-track to 74th Street Roosevelt Avenue. This station's saving grace, however, is that downstairs is the Long Island Railroad, so anybody headed to Manhattan around 34th Street, can hop the LIRR for decent, predictable, comfortable service, though it does cost significantly more (from $6.25 to $15 depending on on-peak, off-peak, and whether the ticket is purchased on-line or on-board). At this station is a newspaper stand which also sells canned and bottled...

Typically day here. Delays but tons of workers standing around. I was waiting for my train. The announcement said delays on the train I was taking. A train pulled up at the time I should leave with no name on it. I ask worker is this the train for ----. He said no. 10 minutes later. He said oh sorry that was yourtrain. Next train in an hour. Lol thanks bro. Maybe if you guys stop chatting like a teenager girl. Maybe you could do your job. I went got breakfast and when I waited for the next train these guys where still sitting around doing nothing. Same spot for about a hour and 50 minutes amounts 2 hrs. Same group of guys the whole time. But you want pay raises. Lol....

Signage appears to have been created by 4th graders, not transit professionals.

Look at the photos attached. Which way to Track 4? Straight as the sign implies, or to the left as the sign kinda sorts implies?

If you were hoping for a clearer answer, too bad! The brilliant minds at the MTA and LIRR had an intern with no visual language background print out some MS Paint creation at 7am and taped this to the wall.

Best of luck making the right choice...
