West Siders? It is almost your turn to curse the MTA for a few nights! That's right, the second round of the MTA's consecutive weeknight subway closures (a.k.a.

[Update below] Planning on taking the 2, 3, 4 or 5 trains between Manhattan and Brooklyn? Maybe hold off a bit. Due to "problems caused by a manhole fire" inter-borough service on those lines is currently suspended. The MTA is "in the process of sending portable generators into the area and service will be resumed once they are deployed." Here's hoping it gets fixed before the big rush hour push! more ›

A four-alarm fire that destroyed at least 12 businesses in the Bronx has also caused some transit issues. Smoke at the Pelham Parkway 2 station is causing the 2 to bypass all stations between Wakefield-241st and East 180th, bypassing Gun Hill Road, Burke Avenue, Allerton Avenue, Pelham Parkway and Bronx Park East. The MTA says there are shuttle buses between stations and also suggests riders take other buses for the B, D, 4 and 6 trains. more ›
