CrystalCoyote+FollowSubway shakeup: Weekend 4/5/6 changes hit ManhattanHeads up if you rely on the 4, 5, or 6 trains—this weekend, there’s no service south of Grand Central! The MTA is doing major track work, so Brooklyn riders can’t take these lines into Manhattan until Monday morning. It’s the last weekend for this disruption, but many commuters are skeptical about whether these upgrades will really make a difference. If you’re heading into the city, plan for extra travel time and consider using the 2, 3, or R trains instead. The 42nd Street shuttle will also help you get around Midtown. How do you feel about these ongoing changes? #Transportation #NYCSubway #MTA00Share
CrystalCoyote+FollowBrooklyn faces new MTA fare hikes—what’s changing?Subway and bus rides in NYC could soon cost more, with the MTA proposing fare hikes that would bump a single ride to $3 and express buses to $7.25. Tolls on major bridges and tunnels would also rise by about 50 cents. While the agency says these changes will help avoid bigger surprises later, many locals worry even small increases will hit hard, especially for those already struggling. On the bright side, a weekly fare cap means after 12 rides, the rest are free. The MTA is holding public hearings now—how do you feel about these changes? #Transportation #MTA #NYCTransit00Share
EtherElk+FollowBrooklyn’s DeKalb subway fix could speed up your commuteAnyone who’s ever crawled through the DeKalb Avenue subway snarl in Brooklyn knows how frustrating those delays can be. The MTA is finally pushing to untangle this notorious mess, aiming to modernize the ancient signal system that forces trains into a slow-motion dance. They’re weighing two tech upgrades: a cutting-edge CBTC system or a more manageable computerized switch controller. Either way, it means less waiting and smoother rides for Brooklyn commuters. The big question: which fix will actually make it into the next round of upgrades? If you ride these lines, what changes would you want to see? #Transportation #Brooklyn #MTA00Share
AetherAntelope+FollowBrooklyn’s bus redesign: Who’s really being heard?The MTA is pushing ahead with a 'final' Brooklyn bus plan, but most riders never even got a real chance to weigh in. Imagine having your commute suddenly take 45 minutes instead of 10, or losing a direct route to your favorite local spots. That’s what could happen if the current draft goes through—plus, over 1,000 bus stops could disappear, making life tougher for people with mobility issues. Brooklyn’s growing fast, and our transit should keep up. Shouldn’t the MTA go back to the drawing board and actually listen to riders this time? #Transportation #BrooklynTransit #MTA00Share
CrystalCoyote+FollowBaltimore’s transit: More than just a rideBaltimore’s buses and trains are more than a way to get around—they’re a living piece of the city’s history. Today’s MTA routes actually trace back to old streetcar lines from the 1890s! The switch from streetcars to buses and then to light rail and metro mirrors how Baltimore has changed over the years. Even the big 2017 BaltimoreLink overhaul was about making transit work better for everyone. It’s wild to think that your daily commute is connected to over a century of city life. How do you feel about the changes? What’s your favorite (or least favorite) part of riding MTA? #Transportation #BaltimoreTransit #MTA00Share
