It was bound to happen eventually. NYC Subway no longer running full weekday service due to crew availability.

Posted by ty97 Mar 24 '20, 14:04

Started today and looks like it will continue. Mostly redundant service not running

B not running, so D is local in Bronx
W not running, overlaps with N anyway
Z express not running, J local covering.

52 MTA employees tested positive for COVID. Unknown number out but no confirmed COVID test -- (link) - ty97 Mar 24, 14:11 1
- 40 TSA agents tested positive, for perspective, and that's more than any other agency in DHS by miles. -- nm* - loosilu Mar 24, 14:13
And there it is, MTA moving to essential service plan. -- (link) - ty97 Mar 24, 14:08 2
- DC did that last week I think, if not earlier. It's all starting to blur. -- nm - loosilu Mar 24, 14:11
- Those are the ridership drop % if I read correctly -- nm - ty97 Mar 24, 14:11
Well Pres Cuomo did say ridership was down 70% -- nm - eag Mar 24, 14:07 8
- It is overall, yeah, but apparently there was still crowding on a couple of lines at rush hour today because of the changes -- nm - ty97 Mar 24, 14:09 6
  - When we walked the dogs this afternoon a CTA bus went by and there was nobody on it except the driver. -- nm - pmb Mar 24, 14:12 5
    - if I was a driver i'd blow by the stops, "next bus...next bus" -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 24, 14:15 3
      - Our buses are free (technically not free, but essentially free) as you have to board and exit through the back door now -- nm - ty97 Mar 24, 14:16 2
        
        ours too since last week -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 24, 14:19 1
        
        actually several trans dist have stopped collecting fares completely, it covers only 5% of op costs, more than the cost of counting, auditing etc -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 24, 14:20
    - I have not been in a subway station in weeks. The buses I see go by on Broadway are empty or virtually empty all the time though. - ty97 Mar 24, 14:14
- "And Leon's getting larger." -- nm - budice Mar 24, 14:08
Are there that many in self quarantine? -- nm - loosilu Mar 24, 14:06 1
- B, Z, J are self-quarantined -- nm - budice Mar 24, 14:08
