R Train at 59th Street at Rush Hour Today

The MTA said that it is expanding midday service on the N and R subway lines to about eight minutes. Trains will arrive every eight minutes instead of every 10 minutes between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on weekdays. LOL.
The picture above was taken at the 59th Street station at rush hour. Gounardes boasted about six minute service on the train, but the R train is still over 20 minutes. (See here)
Even though no change has been made to any train yet, Senator Andrew Gounardes took that as his sign to run down into a train station and repeat the MTA’s message, take his picture and post it to social media. (See here)

Our taxes pay for this low level of politics! Last year, Senator Gounardes said he was getting help for the homeless people riding on the R train, yet they are still riding the train.
Other people also noticed the R train is 20+ minutes and sent me a photo.
