Originally there was going to be quite a bit of subway work this weekend. But then the weather forecast came in predicting actual cold (and snow!) and whatdayaknow, the MTA went and canceled most of it. Though if you live past Lorimer on the L, this is still an L Hell weekend. more ›

Free shuttle buses will run between Queens Plaza and Bedford-Nostrand Avenue, and between Jay Street and Church Avenue. PLEASE BE PATIENT! more ›

You can stay up to speed by following the NYC Transit Twitter, or check the MTA website for updates. more ›

[UPDATE BELOW] Oh why even bother anymore? It looks like this weekend's G train suspension is starting the weekend early (does this mean we can start the drinking early?). A tipster writes: "My girlfriend just informed me via text that there's a broken track somewhere on the G line and they just got let out at the Bedford-Nostrand stop with no signs of shuttle-buses or other replacement-service options. Looks like the G will never run again at this rate." And the MTA website confirms: more ›

Pity the poor tourist who comes upon this ad hoc weekend subway service advisory message scribbled on a series of dry erase boards at the Fulton St. station in Manhattan.
