MTA C Line Will Increase Train Service

MTA

NEW YORK CITY – Governor Hochul of New York announced that service enhancements will be coming to MTA’s C Line.

Service enhancements are coming to the C Line on MTA’s subway service. What started yesterday is an increase in the number of trains during midday. Instead of trains arriving every ten minutes, they will arrive every eight minutes, with “800,000 riders . . . expected to benefit each weekday from the off-peak service enhancements made possible through increased funding in the FY 2024 New York State Budget.”

On her website, Governor Kathy Hochul released a statement that due to “more frequent subway service, New Yorkers can feel confident that there is no better way than the MTA to get where they need to go, even beyond traditional commuting hours.”

In order to maximize the benefit of these service enhancements, New York City Transit focused on “lines with train frequencies of 10 to 12 minutes during off-peak hours.” Previously-established work plans were “taken into consideration when these enhancements were planned to ensure critical state of good repair work and capital work would not be affected.”

Janno Lieber, MTA Chair and CEO, thanked the governor and state legislators for their help because “not everyone is a rush hour commuter, and more frequent subway service throughout the day – and night – will better connect New Yorkers to Broadway, to education, to all kinds of recreations, and to everything the City has to offer.”
