NYC Weekend Subway Service Changes April 10-11
In a sign of a return to normality, subway service changes are making weekend travel a nightmare.

NEW YORK, NY — As vaccinations hit millions of arms and the city slowly reopens, New Yorkers are getting back on the subway. In another sign of the return of normality, they're also dealing with a multitude of weekend service changes.
Riders are returning to the rails in record numbers – on April 8 more than 2 million paid trips were made. That's more than on any day in the past year.
But getting around this weekend is still going to be tough with 8 lines disrupted in the name of "upgrading and maintaining our tracks, stations and signal systems in order to continue to provide our customers with safe and reliable service."
