Get out while you still can! Run for the hills! Jet to the beach! It’s the Unofficial End of Summer. We all have to go back inside and wear jackets and long-sleeve shirts on Tuesday. Panic!
Ok, ok. Maybe Labor day isn’t that bad, but with the way New Yorkers behave, you’d think the world were about to change for the worse when we all return to our jobs and schools on Tuesday after this final three-day weekend of the summer. While that’s not really true, that the subways are a bit of a mess this weekend is an indisputable fact.
Here’s the rundown: Travel on the IRT is a nightmare this weekend, and getting to and from Brooklyn may be a bit of a headache. Also, trains on Monday are operating on a Sunday schedule but without the below delays. So you’ll see full weekend service on all lines, and none of the changes listed here (and on display at SubwayWeekender) are in effect then.
Much like regular subway service, I’ll be back on Monday night/Tuesday morning with new posts. Enjoy the long weekend.

I’m confused – what’s “special” about these J trains that seem to be making normal J train stops? Are they somehow less shitty than normal J trains?
Josh, the J doesn’t normally run all the way to Broad St on the weekends.
