Another week, another round of the MTA's new consecutive weeknight subway closures program (a.k.a. FASTRACK). This time, the pleasure of having a large swath of their service disrupted goes to riders on the B, D, F, M lines. But hey, the MTA swears this new approach to track work is going great!
In case you haven't been paying attention, here's how things are going to roll from tonight through March 2: From 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. each night there will be no B, D, F, M service at 14th Street, 23rd STreet, 34th Street, 42nd Street, 47-50th Streets and 57 Street. You can check out the full list of reroutings (and the MTA's suggestions for how to get around without those lines) over on the Fastrack page or below.
This is the third time the MTA has given the Fastrack program a shot, and they seem quite proud of the results. "In four nights, we were able to accomplish what would normally have taken at least two months to complete," Transit Authority President Thomas Prendergast said of the last shutdown. "Work crews from several disciplines were able to accomplish 425 separate tasks efficiently and safely."
But of course the MTA isn't the one whose nocturnal commutes are getting messed with. How has the pilot multi-night closure program been treating you?
