What To Expect On The Subway This Week

UPDATE 12:20pm: During a press conference, Governor Cuomo just noted that there will be limited service on the subways after about 7pm today.

Though there are a few previously scheduled changes for subway lines in our area this week (shown below), all of that may change pretty quickly as Winter Storm Juno bears down on our area, potentially dumping as much as three feet of snow on our city, as state and city officials are urging residents to stay put.

With a coating of snow already on the ground, the storm is expected to intensify and result in as much as four inches of snow an hour – as well as close to zero visibility – ahead of rush hour, which Governor Cuomo said could result in subways, buses, and other public transportation being shut down.

Additionally, subway cars are being stored on express tracks underground to protect them from the elements – which means express service could be delayed or suspended, amNewYork reported.

We’ll keep you updated throughout the day about changes to public transit, and for more information, you can also go to the city’s severe weather, Office of Emergency Management, and MTA websites. You can sign up here to have the MTA send you emails and/or texts about public transportation changes, and you can also follow the MTA, NYCT Subway Service, and OEM on Twitter.

As always, let us know about problems you encounter on the subways, buses and roads – or anywhere else! You can email us at editor@bklyner.com.
