Once again, it’s time for the New York Marathon. On Sunday morning, distance runners will take to the streets, and the MTA has a guide to the best viewing spots in the city. Take a look at the map below and click to enlarge.
Meanwhile, this weekend brings work but less of it. The advisories below come to me from New York City Transit and are subject to change without notice. Listen to on-board announcements and be sure to check the signs in your local station. Subway Weekender has the map.

What about bus service changes? I’m sure there were plenty today due to the marathon.
Transit didn’t send out the bus service changes. You can find links to the various routes that are detoured right here.
The bus service changes that last for one day, even if planned or anticipated, are rarely given in detail; they just say the bus routes are detoured and are posted only when the change is currently happening. This is commonly the case for street fairs and most small parades. Here I would wish for greater coordination between the MTA, NYC and NYCDOT, as well as better communication on the MTA’s part on the specifics of diversions.
