LIRR service is suspended until further notice because of a strike.
Avoid nonessential travel and work from home if possible. We will have limited shuttle bus service on weekdays for essential workers and those who cannot telecommute

Starting May 18, weekday rush hour service will be enhanced on the 2, 3, 4, and 5 lines for 1.2 million daily riders!
These schedule adjustments shift train trips to high ridership hours based on customer feedback and detailed ridership and operational data.
Announcing a bold new direction for our Photography Program: systemwide artist takeovers are coming this fall. For the first time, a single artist’s work will fill all 45 Arts & Design lightboxes across four stations.
Our inaugural takeover exhibition will feature industrial photographer Christopher Payne, whose large‑format images reveal the unseen beauty of American industry, infrastructure, and the skilled labor that powers it.
For the forthcoming exhibition, @christopherpaynephoto will expand on his acclaimed series inside the MTA’s Coney Island Overhaul Shop, broadening it into a systemwide study of the behind‑the‑scenes operations that keep the nation’s largest transit network moving.
The work will span all of the MTA’s operating agencies—New York City Transit, Long Island Rail Road, Metro‑North Railroad, MTA Bus Company, and MTA Bridges and Tunnels—offering the public a rare view of infrastructure and expertise that make daily travel possible.
Launching September 2026

Our Interborough Express workshops are built for real input: talk directly with the team, weigh in on design, and help shape one of the most transformative mass transit projects in the country.
