Weekday Subway Service Advisories

Mary Bakija -


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 one local line 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.
No R shuttle train between 59 St and 36 St
Late nights, 11:45pm to 5am, Tuesday to Friday, August 25-29
R service operates between 95 St and 59 St. Take the N instead. Transfer between trains at 59 St.
No R trains between Lower Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn
All times until October 2014
No R service at City Hall, Cortlandt, Rector, Whitehall, Court Streets, and Jay Street-MetroTech. R service operates between Forest Hills-71st Avenue and Bay Ridge-95th Street. Trains run via the Q in both directions between Canal Street and DeKalb Avenue.

Additionally, look out for changes further along the F line.
