MTA

To commemorate Transit Equity Day and Black History Month, a seat has been reserved today to honor the legacy of Rosa Parks. Each and every day, we’re committed to providing accessible and equitable transit for all.

Extreme cold may impact travel on subways, buses, LIRR, and Metro-North this weekend. Check the latest service status at mta.info, or in the MTA or TrainTime apps. If you must travel, please use caution on wet or snowy surfaces. Stay safe, and thank you for riding with us!

Don’t let the cold bring you down! Here’s how to stay warm while waiting for your LIRR train at Jamaica station. #longisland #lirr #longislandrailroad

This weekend's winter storm brought plenty of snow to the region, but through it all, we kept New York moving—thanks to the thousands of MTA employees across New York City Transit, Metro-North Railroad, Long Island Rail Road, Access-A-Ride and Bridges & Tunnels. They shoveled stairs and platforms, plowed miles of snow, delivered tons of salt, de-iced rails, and helped customers get where they need to go. Thank you to them and thank you for riding with us.

“Don’t let trash score on our city!”🏀🗑️ @New York Knicks legend John Starks recorded PSAs to remind riders that courtesy counts! Listen for his announcements on your next subway ride.

Through late February, there will be service changes on the 4 and 5 lines while we replace switches on the Jerome Av Line, which carries the 4/5 trains between the Bronx and Manhattan. These switches were last replaced in 1988, the same year “Die Hard” was released and Rick Astley topped the Billboard Charts. They’ve reached the end of their useful life, but don’t worry! We shouldn’t have to replace these switches for another 20 years. Service change information and travel alternatives can be found at our website.

Some things we did in 2016… ✨ We encouraged you to catch your Pokémon safely ✨ The W train returned from retirement ✨ The Second Avenue Subway debuted with an inaugural ride on New Year’s Eve ✨ The Dey Street Concourse opened, connecting Fulton Center to the Oculus ✨ Turnstyle Underground Market opened at 59 St-Columbus Circle ✨ The New York Transit Museum turned 40

Congestion pricing has been in effect for a year—reducing traffic, improving quality of life, and funding transit upgrades across the region. Read the first Congestion Relief Zone Tolling Evaluation Report at the link in our bio.

It's the final day of MetroCard sales—so as we say farewell to an icon, let's take a look at how it all started. Thank you, MetroCard, for moving New York to the very last swipe.

67 hours until the MetroCard retires—it’s time to tap and ride!

From all of us at the MTA, we hope you have a wonderful rest of the holiday season and a happy new year! 🎊

“One day, I’m going to end up driving one of those buses.” Meet Quinton, a bus operator based in the Bronx who loves keeping riders informed of what’s happening on their route. He’s one of the 12,000 dedicated bus operators who keep New York moving!
