Planned work changes routes on many weekends and late nights. Here is how to plan around it.
Updated
Most track, signal and station work on the New York City subway happens on weekends and late nights, when fewer people ride. During that work, a line may skip stations, run local instead of express, use another line's tracks, or be replaced by shuttle buses on part of its route.
Dates and hours: weekend work often runs from Friday night to early Monday morning, and late-night work applies only during the hours listed. Always read the exact times on each notice.
Direction: many changes apply in one direction only (for example, uptown or toward Brooklyn).
Skipped stations: if your station is skipped, the notice usually tells you to ride past it and come back on the other direction, or to transfer to another line.
Shuttle buses: shuttle buses may replace trains on some segments; allow extra time.
