Gounardes Says the R Train is Faster, Without Checking to See If It is Faster!

The MTA announced shorter wait times for the N and R train during the day on Tuesday, August 22nd. (Source)
Senator Andrew Gounardes send these large, full color postcards saying he delivered a faster train.

This isn’t true – the train is not faster in Bay Ridge. Many from Bay Ridge started sharing times online.

Years ago, Gounardes used the train, so it should not come as a surprise when people send him photos from the station.

Gounardes and Brannan did not respond to the people (and the people were polite) (Example here)

Why didn’t Senator Gounades go check if the train was faster before printing and sending out the cards? That must have cost thousands of our tax dollars to do!
People noticed that the trains were spaced out in the morning. Meaning: less service!

The only winner seems to be the company printing the large post cards!
Anyone know if this a Bay Ridge company?!
