MTA to cut some weekday service on 7 subway lines, boost service on 5 other lines (home, organic)

Oh, no.

The agency says it has now seen enough post-pandemic data to know what it needs to do to better serve riders. Starting in June 2023, it will cut service on the 1, 6, 7, L, E, F and Q lines on Mondays and Fridays. It will also start Manhattan-bound A and C express trains earlier during the morning rush.

Thanks for sharing.

Of course, they will cut the lines largely serving Brooklyn/Queens residents (7, L, E,F, and Q lines). I'm so glad that I don't need to rely on the subway service.

Mondays, especially mornings, are the worst time to cut service! Fridays, I can see, with folk working from home and folk leaving early.

And once again, the 6 train being treated like a Cinderfella stepchild. Old R-46 cars, and now, reduced service!

The OP's article cuts out some info that other sources have posted. For example, the lines with service cuts will see only 30 to 60 seconds extended wait times, which is nothing.

Except fact that nearly every effing day there is some sort of issue on Q, N,R, and W trains.

You get down station or platform on "Q" or look at app and see wait times of 10, 15 or more minutes for next train.

If anyone thinks they'll "boost" service elsewhere, they're real idiots. This is a disguised service cut. It helps the MTA two-fold. Built-in excuse for poor service and help to reduce the workforce.

How do you like them apples.They are doing it without me saying it....

That's because no one takes the 7 train anymore.

[HellUpInHarlem]

That G train is horrible so I understand that, but cutting the Q, 6, and L? WHY?

Just say you're mad at the mayor for not doing anything about transit safety and keep it movin'.

30 to 60 seconds at Parkchester builds an increased crowd at that station. I see it, everyday....!
