T'was the weekend of Christmas, and not a service change was stirring… well, almost!
This weekend, there's just one minor change to service on Christmas Eve (more on that below), and all subway lines are running on a regular Sunday schedule on Christmas Day. On Monday, December 26, the subway is running on a Sunday schedule. Bus riders should know that on Monday, December 26, buses in Staten Island will run on a Sunday schedule, and on a Saturday schedule in the rest of the boroughs.
For Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North riders heading out of the city, we're operating extra getaway trains on Friday, December 23. LIRR and Metro-North will operate on a regular weekend schedule on Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day. On Monday, December 26, LIRR will operate on a weekday schedule, with off-peak fares in effect on all trains. Metro-North will operate on a Saturday schedule, with extra trains in the morning and afternoon. Use our free TrainTime app to view your schedule, or see more details here.
And finally, one important thing to note for next week: Beginning Monday, December 26, and lasting through 5 a.m. Saturday, December 31, and trains are rerouted while we complete construction projects in the 53 St tunnel connecting Manhattan and Queens. Learn more.
