A reader correction, regarding the proposed "H" line: "It is blatantly obvious that Brian Diedrick, the idiot who proposed the "H" line, is not a New Yorker. The B61 bus (one of those "buses" you may have heard about in the New Yorker) already goes from Red Hook to Long Island City, via the Columbia Street waterfront, Cobble Hill, Downtown Brooklyn, DUMBO, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Williamsburg, and Greenpoint. Formerly a trolley line (Brooklyn switched from trolleys to busses in the mid-fifties as a result of maneuverings by organized crime bosses and borough government), the B61 starts at the piers and even goes along Bedford Avenue in the 'Burg (yes, it connects to the L), in case you ever wanted to go there.
I mean, come on."
