Subway service changes this weekend

New York subway service changes can be confusing. The MTA provides this simple, handy guide to help you plan your trip this weekend.

The 2 and 3 will run local this weekend.

Because of necessary trackwork the a will be running over the d line.

Because of necessary trackwork the d will be running over the a line. This accomplishes something.

The f will run normally this weekend, for, as far as anyone remembers, the first time. To celebrate, the MTA is declaring a holiday. The f will not be running.

Steven Moore of 344 E 11th St will be tracked at all times this weekend by MTA agents who will be tasked with ensuring that all subway stations within a mobile 3-block radius of him are closed. Think about that the next time you’re considering holding the doors.

The n will be making all stops except those that contain a prime number (42nd Street, OK; 23rd Street, nope). The r will replace the n at those stops. The q will be making all stops but will be arriving on invisible platforms accessible only to wizards.

The 4 will only run if the 5 is running. The 5 definitely won’t run if the 4 is running. The 6 knew this was going to happen when they hooked up.

The 1 will run normally to Christopher Street, where it will leap its tracks, burst to the surface of the city and make a dash for Jersey. Shuttle buses replace the 1 below Christopher Street.

The 2nd Avenue t line will be running normally. Just kidding. We’re never going to build that.
