It’s after midnight on Saturday morning, and the service advisories are already in place. So without further ado, let’s get right to ’em.
First up, we have the Bon Jovi Concert service alert. With Jon Bon Jovi in town to perform a free concert as part of Major League Baseball’s All Star weekend, the MTA is running additional service along Central Park West. The A and D will make all local stops before and after the concert. Revelers are instructed to enter the park at 59th St.
Also, baseball-related comes the news that the MTA will run additional bus service to the Javits Center this weekend. As part of MLB’s green initiatives, the MTA will run only hybrid buses along the M42 line to MLB All Star FanFest, and those buses will run every 15 minutes.
Otherwise, we’ve got a pretty busy weekend for service advisories. Who knows how reliable they really are?

ANother advisory, the Q train. It is running really slow at night until Church Avenue. But just note, if you are riding Coney Island bound, at Atlantic you must switch as the train goes into Pacific as a result of track work. Real pain in the ass. Just thought everyone should know that needs to.
