NYC Weekend Subway Service Changes For June 2 to 4

Heads up: The 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, A, B, C, D, E, F, J, M and N trains won't be running normally this weekend.

NEW YORK, NY — If you're trying to get around the city this weekend, here's how the Metropolitan Transportation Authority might make that harder as service changes hit subways in the name of "upgrading and maintaining our tracks, stations and signal systems in order to continue to provide our customers with safe and reliable service."

Around the city, 14 train lines will be running with modified service late Friday night, June 1, to Monday morning, June 4, for the work, according to the MTA.
