I boarded July 7 at Sayville and there literally wasn't a seat to be had, with still another stop at Bayshore. People were sitting on the stairs and on the floor.The train normally has 4 or 5 cars, though it's scheduled for 6.
How many cars does this train usually consist of; it appeared that it may have been short equipment? Can you tell me if it's like this every Monday or just that way because of 4th July and/or equipment shortage.

Will Friday ridership be significantly reduced, or will everyone attempt to return on the Saturday trains? What will happen to the 4 sets of equipment (2708, 2712, 2718, 8712) that will be stuck in Montauk Yard at zero hour?
