Rubbish commute? Could be worse, you could have to negotiate this
No matter long we stare at this, we’re still not getting it.
It can’t be as complicated as it sounds can it? And if so, is there an easier way of expressing it?

Nope. Still nothing. Here’s what these people made of it.

I like to this of this as the Schrödinger's cat of the MTA. Is it an F or a D?

"5 passengers get off the D track and 3 more get on the F track. With this in mind how many extra passengers would be required to be justified in diverting the train to track G wherein it would collide with 2xF-D bystanders as opposed to the 3F on line D?"

The best is when they run the C train on the F line on the D track.

This guy thought he had the answer.
It means they've moved the D to the C and the F express before W4, but can't switch them back over after W4 so the two trains are effectively switched after W4. Diagram here kinda explains it: https://t.co/zxyVspv3Rb
