The R and V subway lines received mediocre grades in the latest rider report card results released by New York City Transit.

Straphangers gave both Queens-to-Manhattan lines an overall C-minus grade.

The R received its lowest grades, Ds, for inaudible station and train announcements and uninformative station announcements. The V also received a D for inaudible station announcements.

Both the R and V received their highest grade, a B-minus, for access to MetroCard machines.

Straphangers' top priorities for improvements on the lines include less wait times for trains and minimal trip delays.
