Would you mind sharing what stops you were trying to travel between?

I was traveling from Manhattan into Ft. Hamilton Parkway on the F Train. There were no F Trains running to the stop without having to transfer to two other trains, which would have their own problems and outages.
On the way back, it was even worse:
PICTURE EVIDENCE: https://imgur.com/a/p4JCaPP
EVIDENCE NOTE 1: Monitor claiming F trains would arrive
EVIDENCE NOTE 2: Sign contracting what monitor says
EVIDENCE NOTE 3: Monitor and Sign side-by-side
I used the MTA Subway Time app and it claimed F trains were on their way, these were obviously schedule data and werent changed despite the weekend-long outage. So if you used the MTA Subway Time, you'd wait forever.
I used the Google Pigeon app to report it. Given the official app had fake arrival times, best to use (or in this case, to contribute to) a crowd-sourced data source based on reality.

Hah, I grew up off of that stop. Used to be kind of a forgotten part of town.
Haven't lived in NYC for more than a decade, it's a shame to hear how far downhill the subway has gone.
