New York City might have enjoyed a short, four-day work week, but we had a busy one around these parts. The week ended with details of a dismaying fare hike and more delays along Second Ave. It seems as though 2010 has brought nothing but bad news for the MTA.
Anyway, with a weekend upon us, it’s time again for the service changes. Subway Weekender has the map. The details are below, and one of the changes has a priceless typo. These come to me via the MTA and are subject to change without notice. Listen to announcements on board your train and pay attention to signs in your local station.
