waiting to board the Tram this afternoon at about 1:30. Mr. Andrews adds:

I have never seen this before.

Any idea what the reason for the long line was? The F train was running from Manhattan to Roosevelt Island this weekend but not from Roosevelt Island to Manhattan.

UPDATE 3/10 – A Reader reports:

There was a long line at the tram at that particular time because there were “groups” of off island tourist who came all at once 3 separate groups came together and none of these groups made arrangements in advance so they all had to swipe their metro cards
