Transit Alerts
Simplified subway service notes paired with walking and bus alternatives when rail gaps leave you stranded.
When the 7 train skips Flushing–Main Street, the 7X bus picks up near 41st Street and 6th Avenue with reduced frequency. On the L line, full weekend shutdowns mean 14th Street pedestrians shift south toward nearby avenues to catch available bus alternatives. These routes often run parallel to closed subway corridors and offer more predictable arrival windows during outages.
For cross-borough trips during subway disruptions, the B41 Bus in Brooklyn runs along Atlantic Avenue to connect with the Q70 SBS atLong Island City, offering a reliable alternative when the G or J/Z lines are suspended. In Queens, certain bus routes replace the E train service between Jamaica Center and Roosevelt Avenue, with fewer stops and clearer signage at bus stops.
Staten Island remains isolated from subway outages but sees bus reroutes during harbor-related disruptions—like certain SIM routes changing stops near the ferry terminal during weather-related cancellations. Always check MTA bus route advisories before boarding, as temporary detours can reroute vehicles away from standard lanes, adding time to typical travel windows.
