Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.The hot, sweaty weekend waits for subway trains will get a little shorter this summer for riders on the G, J and M lines, MTA officials said Thursday.
And in August, the MTA said it plans to improve weekend service on the 1 and 6 lines, running trains every six minutes. The same month, officials plan to increase midday service on weekdays along the C, N and R lines, with headways decreasing to eight minutes from the current 10-minute scheduled waits, the agency said.
The announcement came as the MTA reported subway ridership hit 4 million on Wednesday. It’s the third day since the pandemic hit that the system’s ridership has hit the milestone. Weekday subway ridership remains at about 70% of pre-pandemic figures, but weekend ridership is higher, at about 80%. By the end of the year, the MTA plans to increase evening service on the C, N and R lines and boost midday trains on the G line.
