MTA serves up debilitating service change schedule this long weekend

Monday is a Federal Holiday, President’s Day, and the MTA has both a trick and a treat planned for the long weekend. The treat is that the Q70 LaGuardia Link bus will be free through Tuesday. The trick is that both subways and buses will be operating on a Saturday schedule come Monday, meaning there will be no express service on the 6 or 7 trains and the B, J and W trains will not be running, in addition to a number of other service changes.

The MTA is offering no rest for weary straphangers in terms of planned work line rerouting: 3 trains won’t be running at all, and the Rockaways will be serviced largely by shuttle bus.
