With Carmen Bianco retiring on August 21, the MTA has named Bridge & Tunnel President James Ferrara as interim NYC Transit president. Ferrara likely won’t get the job permanently, but it provides agency continuity as he is a long-time MTA guy. No word yet on the candidates to replace Bianco.
Now, onto the weekend work. These come to me from the MTA so check signs, station announcements, carrier pigeon messages, etc.

Ben,
Starting on Monday thru Sept 4th the Queens Blvd line will be very messy. Reduced service on all lines. Some E/F will run local from 21st-Queensbridge/Queens plaza to 71st Ave during rush hours. No E to/from 179th street.
