We've got good news, riders!
Pretty soon, your subway service will be getting a boost! Beginning in July, expect more frequent and train service on weekends. In August, this will be followed by an increase to weekend and service, along with mid-day weekday improvements to and train frequencies. These service increases are targeted to lines where we've seen the highest increases in ridership since the pandemic and are thanks to funding from the NY State budget.
Rolling along, we've got an important note for our Sunday cyclists 🚴♂️: If you're taking your bike on public transit to or from the 5 Boro Bike Tour, these are the best stations to use: Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall , Bowling Green (Bowling Green Park entrance only), Chambers St , Chambers St , World Trade Center , Cortlandt St , South Ferry , and Broad St .
Several bus routes may experience detours during the bike tour. Check here for alerts before you go. As a reminder, bicycles are not permitted on buses, unless they are foldable, and must be fully collapsed.
Here's what's happening this weekend:
- trains aren't stopping at Van Cortlandt Park-242 St.
- trains are rerouted between Manhattan and Brooklyn
- trains aren't running between Norwood-205 St and 161 St-Yankee Stadium
