Promising that they learned a lesson, the MTA says it is going to be more sensitive when it shuts down the C for five weekends starting March 31, the Daily News reports.
For five weekends starting March 31, there will be no C trains running at all - from Washington Heights in upper Manhattan to Euclid Ave. in East New York, Brooklyn, according to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

Transit officials vowed not to repeat mistakes made last month, when much of the No. 7 was shut down on weekends for track and signal upgrades in Queens. The MTA's bus and subway division initially did a poor job of alerting riders about the project, didn't make it easy to find shuttle buses and gave subway travel tips that were confusing or flatout wrong.
"We overhauled the strategy for dealing with construction," MTA spokesman Jeremy Soffin said. "On all upcoming projects, we'll do a better job of informing customers about the work and about alternative travel options."
