Yet again, the media is having a field day with the weekend service advisories. Although I have been posting them for the last three years, the rest of New York seems to be shocked. The Post calls this weekend a disaster.
To that end, the MTA has issued a press release previewing November. Although the posters will go up in stations as scheduled on Thursday, this month’s service advisories are now online. Straphangers can find one less thing to complain about concerning the MTA.
With that said, on to the service advisories. Don’t forget to check out our map from Subway Weekender that shows just how the subway changes impact travel. Download this week’s map right here or by clicking on the image below. Remember: These weekend service changes come to me from the MTA and are subject to change without notice. Check signs in your local station and listen for on-board announcements for up-to-the minute changes. The specific alerts follow.

I fail to understand why people keep making a big
deal about this stuff. Service advisories have been going on for *years*. What do they expect?
I’m with you. Who knows? This is not anything new.

They make a big deal out of it because
A) It costs zero money for the paper to run it..copy template from last report and walk out to subway station to find morons who dont know anything..print
B) It beats doing real reporting on real issues
C) The MTA is an easy punching bag (granted it doesnt help itself) but this is just normal stuff
