Well, the Q line will be a hot mess for late-night commuters in Manhattan, and it and the B do some daytime local/express switcheroo in Brooklyn. Here are this week’s transit advisories:

Express stop riders will be happy to learn that they’ll have a quicker trip over the weekend, while local riders at Avenue U and Neck Road will moan and groan as they have to double back to Sheepshead Bay Road to catch a train to Manhattan. The F… well, the F.

Q LINE

From 10:45 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday, Manhattan-bound Q trains run express from Sheepshead Bay to Kings Highway.

A little subway service switcheroo on the B and Q lines, with the B running local for a stretch, and the Q running express for a stretch.
