NEW YORK, NY— Governor Kathy Hochul today unveiled the next phase of subway service increases, set to improve transportation across the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens. Effective Monday, enhanced weekday midday and evening services have been implemented on the B, D, J, and M lines, with trains now arriving every eight minutes. Starting this Saturday, July 6, the 3 and 5 lines will also see enhanced weekend service, with trains arriving every 10 minutes.
“While transit systems across the country were cutting service, I fought hard to save the MTA from the fiscal cliff and expand subway service in last year’s budget,” said Hochul. “These enhancements have brought more riders back to the system and provide more affordable and reliable transit for New Yorkers.”
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) is also extending the Rockaway Park Shuttle to 10-car trains and lengthening the shuttle’s route to Rockaway Blvd on weekends through Labor Day. From 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, the extended shuttle will operate from Rockaway Blvd, offering beachgoers a convenient transfer to and from A trains serving the Lefferts Blvd and Far Rockaway branches.
