Subway and rail service changes: June 17-20

There are service changes on the subway and LIRR this weekend. Here’s how that will affect how you get around.
Updated June 17, 2022 10:55 a.m.

We've got a busy weekend ahead of us, folks: It's the last official weekend of Spring, and both Father's Day and Juneteenth are celebrated on Sunday. (On Monday, June 20th, subways, buses, LIRR, and Metro-North will run on a regular weekday schedule.)

If you're using public transit to get to a celebration — or if you're simply running errands this weekend — we're here to get you where you're going. For more details on how service will be affected across all modes of transit, check out our Planned Work tool and search for your subway, bus, or rail line.   

These service changes are subject to change, so check the MTA homepage before heading out; it's where you'll find up-to-the-minute information on subway, bus, and rail service.
