Does it leave from shuttle station or IRT 7th Ave Line Platform at times square?
The 7th Ave line platforms.
Looks like they’re doing some Cranberry Tunnel work.
If you aren’t going to post these BEFORE 10 p.m. on Friday, why bother?
Just post a link to the MTA’s site, early enuff for riders to make plans.
Whine a bit more, why dontcha? What a rude and obnoxious comment.
What a whining, rude, and obnoxious comment yours is. It does nothing to help solve the problem.
Please stop with all the bickering. It’s not productive.
I will say this though: As you know, I do this site largely for free as a hobby in my exceedingly disappearing free time. It’s disheartening at best to find comments from people openly complaining about how I run the site. If I’m not around on a Friday at the designated time to post these, c’est la vie. If you have a complaint, feel free to direct it to me privately or volunteer to assist in preparing these to fit your schedule. Anything else is frankly exhausting.
Why not just look at the MTAs website or subscribe to their updates?
You could have done that in the time it took to write your rude post.
^^So true.
Not surprised unemployed people like him are so bitter.
Nowadays when calling names, “unemployed” is the insult you use?
Wonder if “unemployed” is going to replace ni**er as the insult of choice among all the cool trust fund babies.
So, Chris, your advice to me is that I should NOT come here to get info?
And that if I find that info is missing or untimely, I should NOT inform
the blog operator?
When things are going wrong in something I do, I appreciate feedback
from users. So thanks for your rude, whining, and obnoxious feedback.
The “why bother?” portion of your comment is probably what rubbed people the wrong way.
And I would say that this blog probably shouldn’t be your destination for service alerts – that’s not really its purpose.
No my advice is to go straight to the MTA for detailed information re the weekend (and other) service changes.
As he has already said (several times in the past and reiterated today) Ben simply re-posts the information he gets from the MTA – when and if he gets the time.
If you want it sooner than Ben posts on here then sign up for the MTA updates or check the MTA website.
And you started with the rude the whining and the obnoxious.
It’s much easier to read the updates here all at once, especially on the go on my phone. Thanks, Ben!
Ben, how come you don’t state the reason why there a line is not running or delayed anymore?
Because Ben gets this info from the MTA and according to a thread a few weeks ago it appears that the MTA press department no longer collate the info (too much work!) to include it in the source data they send out.
Why not just look at the MTAs website or subscribe to their updates?
You could have done that in the time it took to write your rude post.
^^^^ ignore the above comment not addressed to you Asar! Cut and paste error on my part!
Apologies!
