Service Changes To Local Subway Lines This Week

Service Changes To Local Subway Lines This Week
F train at 4th/9th subway station


It’s not such a bad week to ride the subway in our area — local lines are operating normally for the most part, though the G is in its last full week without the tunnel, and the R isn’t available for part of the ride further into Brooklyn. Details on those and other subway changes further down some local lines from the MTA:

No G trains between Nassau Av and Court Sq
All times until 5am Tuesday, September 2
G service operates between Church Av and Nassau Av. Manhattan Av shuttle buses run between Nassau Av and Court Sq, stopping at Greenpoint Av and 21 St. McGuinness Blvd shuttle buses run between the Lorimer St L stop and Court Sq, stopping near G stations at Nassau Av, Greenpoint Av, and 21 St. See the full details here.

Late nights, 11:45pm to 5am, Tuesday to Friday, August 25-29
