Subway restoration makes getting around Brooklyn a wee bit easier

Ever think you’d miss this? via Cats on Fire MySpace

If you were thinking about skipping out on work tomorrow because, “Oh man, the subway…it’s just so hard to get around, you know?” your excuse may have just taken a hit. Governor Cuomo and the MTA have announced limited subway service opening around the city, starting tomorrow. While a lot of Brooklyn is still without service, the following lines will be up and running in Kings County tomorrow starting at 6am:

The 5 train will be running express between Atlantic Ave-Barclays and Flatbush Avenue
A trains will run between Jay Street-MetroTech and Lefferts Blvd
The D train is running between Atlantic Avenue and Bay Parkway, making express stops between Pacific Street and 36th Street
The F train is running between Jay Street-MetroTech and Avenue X
The J will be running between Jamaica Center and Hewes Street
The L train is running between Broadway Junction and Rockaway Parkway
The M will run between Myrtle Avenue-Broadway and Metropolitan Avenue
The R will run between Jay Street-MetroTech and 95th Street

In addition to the subways serving Brooklyn, three shuttle busses will be running from north-south from Brooklyn into the city, if you have to get there: one running over the Manhattan Bridge between Atlantic Ave-Barclays to Lexington Ave-57th Street, the second also over the Manhattan Bridge between Jay Street-MetroTech and 57th Street-Lexington Avenue and the third running over the Williamsburg Bridge between Hewes Street and 57th Street-Lexington Avenue. The Times has the full breakdown of transit restorations for once you in to Manhattan.

UPDATE: Via Gothamist and their talented tipster Zach van Schouwen comes a partial-service subway map:
