I know this is old news, but just wondering on people's opinion of the WTC weekend closures from Summer 2009-2011

I'm sure nobody is happy with it. I still haven't heard any details about the rest of the weekend service, such as whether or not JSQ-33 trains will bypass Hoboken during the closures. If not, I'm moving to Brooklyn.

If JSQ-33 trains bypass Hoboken, there will be no Hoboken service on weekends. Why would they do that and why would you want it?

Of course I wouldn't want that. I meant that I hope there will be a direct JSQ-33 train in addition to a HOB-33 train like it used to be during weekend daytimes.

Ah, so, run 'yellow' *in addition to* yellow-blue on the weekends. More service is always good, but something makes me think they'd have a hard time justifying running an additional line to skip just one stop for riders. But hey, it'd be nice.
