Bx5 could be extended to Bay Plaza on Fridays if a separate schedule is done.

Bx23 starts/ends at Pelham Bay only, there are two route patterns, 1-2-3-4-5, 5-4-3-2-1, but only one terminal.

Should other stations on Metro North be re-opened, like 183rd Street? In that case there is no nearby subway station at all since the Third Avenue Elevated (8) train was demolished.

This doesn't make any sense, Why run a Dyre shuttle (in mostly one direction at a time) for a few hours anyway, just keep the running completely on Friday evening. TRACK MAINTENANCE Service ends early between E 180 St and Bowling Green trains provide alternate service Evenings, 8:45 PM to 11:59 PM, Friday, Jan 19 • Jan 26 • Feb 2 service operates between Dyre Av and E 180 St. Travel Alternatives • Transfer between and trains at E 180 St. • Transfer between and trains at 149 St-Grand Concourse. Trains run local in both directions between 125 St and Brooklyn Bridge Weekend, 10 PM Fri to 5 AM Mon, Feb 2 - 5 • Please allow additional travel time. Trains run local in both directions between 125 St and Grand Central-42 St Weekend, 12:01 AM Sat to 5 AM Mon, Feb 3 - 5 • Please allow additional travel time.

This affects people going to Manhattan as well, more crowded to an even more crowded making ALL stops, even worse if you are going to lower Manhattan.

Brooklyn only has the and instead of the ,, and . MTA saves money during the day, only during the night would MTA ( and crews are running extended services) would the MTA lose a bit, but it is still overall weekend savings for MTA.

It also saves MTA money to keep the Clark Street Tunnels closed

On Friday evenings (and weekdays before major holidays) Bowling Green trains run out of Dyre from 7:52PM to 10:48PM

MTA saved even more money doing that, cutting the and back

Subway Time showed the Clark Street tunnels open after 1am for some reason with the to Brooklyn and the as a Dyre shuttle. The was shown to be ending at 42 St, MTA needs to fix those errors, as the Sunday (2)/(3)/(5) schedules should have been in effect until 5am, not 12-1am.

Yes, MTA made the / swap regular weekend service until Summer 2018 so the Clark Street Tunnels will be closed that day. The tunnels will also be closed on President's Day and Memorial Day as well. The tunnels were also closed on 4th of July (Tuesday).

Good news is for those in Manhattan and the Bronx extended service. The would normally start late and end early on a 'normal' weekend schedule. runs better on the weekends than weekday (Monday-Thursday) evenings. MTA also saves money as long as these changes are in effect. The is also extended late night and early morning to 14 St (instead of 42 St), so there is another positive.

The game starts at 5pm, the Lo-V's will run around 4pm. service between 4-5pm is better equipped to handle the crowds than service 7-8pm. Also service ending at 145 adding crowds to the long platform of people waiting for the to show up doesn't help.

Overnight train bunching, also provides a rare transfer from shuttle to another at E 180 St https://screenshots.firefox.com/nqH1DCqMeTFFe5sI/subwaytime.mta.info

The extension to/from Bowling Green on Friday evenings (10:13/11:26, 10:26/11:40, 10:38/11:55, 10:48/12:05) should be made permanent. It helps get people off the train, which is still crowded after 11pm. MTA should also extend the 4:02, 4:22, and 4:42 to/from Bowling Green on Monday mornings instead of running those trains to E 180 St, keeps the running continuously (no more than 20-22 minute gap in service) and plugs the gap in service between E 180 St and Bowling Green. There is currently a gap in service at E 180 St towards Manhattan (last '5' at 4:10am, first at 5:12am). There is also gap at Bowling Green towards the Bronx (last '5' at 4:57am, first at 6:18am). The extended service would leave Bowling Green at 5:17, 5:37, and 5:59 (there is a train scheduled to leave Bowling Green at 5:57) They already do this on Friday nights, why not Monday mornings, they did it in 2011. When the Dyre line is shut down, they already run extra '2' trains from E 180 St to South Ferry at 4:19 and 4:39 on Monday mornings so crews are running as the '2' from South Ferry on some Mondays until around 5:44am. This is after the begins going to/from Brooklyn. Normally the last '2' to reach E 180 St toward South Ferry on Monday is at 3:57am and the last '2' to leave South Ferry back towards Dyre Avenue is at 5:02am. Seems like MTA would rather run both the and '2' on the 7th Avenue Local together between 4:30am and 6:30am instead of running the on the Lexington Avenue Express after the '5' stops running.

Some SBS machines can damage metrocards causing read error messages, hard to use SBS if you can't get a ticket because your Metrocard no longer works after trying to get a receipt.

No, both routes are running on 7 Av after 4:30am S/B, 5:00am N/B, they are both running as trains with no Lexington or service. The crews are still operating as '2' trains even after the Clark Street Tunnel has re-opened. Those trains should be running as trains to Bowling Green like Friday nights. '2' trains were leaving South Ferry until 5:44am, the first leaving Flatbush going to 7 Av was 4:40am

Looks like MTA now rather double service than keep the running until AM rush service starts.... trains will soon be going to BOTH South Ferry AND Flatbush Avenue at the same time. Soon they will also be going to BOTH 241 St AND Dyre Av at the same time....

Late night trains run to Whitehall from Brooklyn, he wants the late night to run up the Nassau line from Brooklyn to Chambers.

Seems like the Clark Street tunnel shutdown helps the Lexington line on late Friday evenings and early Saturday mornings by relieving the crowded train with the extra service from Bowling Green. Maybe the Friday shuttle service extensions from Dyre Avenue/Bowling Green (10:13/11:26, 10:26/11:40 10:38/11:55, 10:48/12:05) should be made permanent.

The would be eliminated(except late nights) so those cars would be free to be used to extend half of the service to Rockaway Park

The is extended to Bowling Green late Friday evenings(10:13, 10:26, 10:38, 10:48) but not early Monday mornings(4:02, 4:22, 4:42) for some reason. Might as well plug the gap in service at Bowling Green from 4:57 to 6:18 and keep the running instead of having extra trains running to both 241 and Dyre at the same time. Also having Dyre shuttles running with trains to Dyre is a waste.

SBS machines can also damage metrocards as well, and unlike the other bus routes, or even the subway, there is no one that can give you a courtesy ride while your card has a read error.

The schedules don't show the late Friday night early Saturday morning (extended service to Bowling Green) nor the early Monday morning service( to both 241 St and Dyre Av at the same time) Looks like MTA will have to run supplements each week then, unless MTA will cut back on the extended Dyre shuttles to Bowling Green on Friday nights.

How about when the SBS stops running and the machines still give out tickets?
