J is for just and M is miserable. The MTA is forcing J and M train riders into a slog this fall, removing their direct connection to Manhattan for five weekends as workers replace track equipment near Marcy Avenue. Shuttle buses will replace both trains between Myrtle Avenue-Broadway in Brooklyn and Essex Street in Manhattan, and J trains will only run between Jamaica Center and Myrtle Avenue-Broadway as crews replace track switches, according to the MTA.
