This Week’s B & Q Subway Service Changes

B train subway summer


For those of you who haven’t jumped town this week,  hopefully you’re getting to take the subway to, say, the beach and not work! But, wherever you’re going, the planned changes don’t look too brutal. Nothing is planned for the B, but take note that, beginning Wednesday, Coney Island-bound Q trains are running express from Prospect Park to Sheepshead Bay. Information via mta.info.

Starting Monday:

Q trains run every 30 minutes between Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center and Stillwell Avenue.
