Update (1:50 a.m.): This just in: Due to the mounting snow, the MTA has suspended all bus service within New York City and on Long Island. This advisory includes buses operated by New York City Transit, MTA Bus and Long Island Bus. As the wet snow keeps piling up, the city streets are currently impassable, and the authority does not want a repeat of December’s storm which saw numerous buses stranded in the streets. I’m going to bed soon, but I’ll update this post as news becomes available.
Meanwhile, the MTA just announced that the Franklin Ave. and Rockaway Park Shuttles have ceased running due to the snow as well. For now, above-ground service along the Sea Beach, Brighton, Rockaway and West End Lines is still running, but if the snow gets worse, those services may shut down as part of the MTA’s new blizzard preparation plan. For more updates, check out Second Ave. Sagas on Facebook or Twitter.
