Shuttle busses replaced regular F train service again this weekend, despite a promise from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority just two weeks ago that the frustrating shuttles were done for the rest of the year.

Riders between Church Avenue in Kensington and Jay Street in Downtown Brooklyn were forced to board buses all weekend, even though the MTA told The Brooklyn Paper last month that the kind of track work on the elevated portion between Park Slope and Carroll Gardens that requires line closures had been curtailed.

Check back at BrooklynPaper.com on Monday for a full report. In the meantime, avoid the F train.
