Public transportation is not a personal obsession, but it’s a big part of our lives, since many of us spend hours every week sitting on trains or buses. If there are breakdowns or other delays, you can add time to that, and minutes spent in close contact with strangers.

This is the view from Smith & Ninth, taken last April. I’m hoping to revisit the spot where I was standing, toward the front of the platform, as soon as the subway work is done. It’s not a beautiful view, the Lowe’s parking lot, the poisonous canal, and the elevated highway, but I miss it.

For all the photos I take of the Fourth Avenue subway station, the southern view has not received as much attention as others. This annoying bridge, erected so work can be done on the outbound platform, does make a nice place to kill time while waiting for the train.

The night sky is very visible from the Coney Island-bound platform of the Fourth Avenue F and G station. It’s pleasant, when it’s not raining or snowing. But when it’s coming down, everyone’s cursing the MTA and the prolonged construction work.

The work train is laying some type of cable. If you ride the F Train regularly, you know very well that the Manhattan-bound trains are skipping this station. Work is proceeding slowly.

Another view from the bridge at Fourth Avenue. On weekends, there is plenty of time to observe the Williamsburg Bank Building, etc.

I’m tired of walking up and over the bridge to exit the temporary subway platform at Fourth Avenue on the F and G Trains, but I still like the the view from up high. At nighttime, you never know what kind of picture you’re going to get – here the station is very bright, but so is the sky.

There is one positive side effect of the temporary bridge at the Fourth Avenue stop on the F and G Trains – the view. This is looking south, toward the Verrazano and Bay Ridge.

Though inbound F Train riders have to go over a bridge and wait on a newly-built platform, they are lucky. There’s no interruption in service, unlike at Smith and Ninth, where trains won’t be stopping for about a year. Plus, riders have gained a new and slightly elevated view from the bridge.
