The IBX, formally called the Interborough Express, is poised to transform travel between the two outer boroughs, connecting nearly a million residents along the route.

MTA workers are illegally parking on sidewalks outside a transit complex in Astoria, with some leaving MTA-branded high-visibility vests on their dashboards, seemingly to avoid tickets.

The new technology allows drivers to see actual New York streets and experiences, which ultimately makes bus rides safer for customers. The more we can give them real tools to simulate what real life is like, the better they're going to be once they hit the road.

The MTA's Spring Customers Count survey aims to gather honest feedback from riders about their commuting experiences, which is crucial for making necessary improvements to the transit system.

"The current status of this station makes daily travel more difficult, more stressful, and in some cases impossible," they wrote in the letter to Lieber in January.

"I think it's going to be a disaster for Long Island," said Kevin Sexton, national vice president for the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, and spokesman for the coalition of five LIRR unions.

The MTA gave several fans who took the train to the game a ride on a special train harkening back to the franchise's early days, the 1917 IRT Lo-V Nostalgia Train.

Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal expressed strong support for Verizon and T-Mobile to bring their services to select subway stations, emphasizing the need for immediate activation of cell service.

For decades, Saul Zabar, with his exacting standards, culinary acumen, and fierce loyalty to those who worked for him, was the heart and soul of his family-run delicatessen on West 80th Street and Broadway.

With just a single tap, subway and bus customers now have access to real-time arrivals at the stops closest to them, along with live positioning of the nearest trains and buses, clearer station layouts, and better transfer information.

The MTA will only move towards introducing all-door boarding on city buses after it has rolled out a promised European-style approach to fare evasion enforcement aboard the vehicles, Chair and CEO Janno Lieber said on Tuesday. Lieber, while testifying during a Feb. 3 state legislative budget hearing, made clear that the MTA will not activate OMNY tap-and-pay readers in the backs of buses until after it has established its new fare validation system on them.

On Jan. 17-19 overnight, downtown A and C trains in Manhattan will skip 116 St, 110 St, 103 St, 96 St, 86 St, 81 St and 72 St. Uptown C trains in Manhattan will skip Spring St, 23 St and 50 St during the same time. There will be no overnight C service this weekend, take the A train instead. In Manhattan, uptown E trains will skip Spring St and 23 St from 11:45 p.m. on Jan. 16 to 5 a.m. Jan. 20.

In effect, that means service changes across all lines besides the F, M, 2, and Franklin Avenue and Rockaway Park Shuttles. Overnight, downtown local A trains will skip all stops between 125th St and 59th St-Columbus Circle and uptown local A trains will skip Spring St, 23rd St, and 50th St. Both downtown and uptown local C trains will skip the same stops as the overnight A during the day and evening, with no overnight service.

"There's interest across the board," Michael Kemper, MTA chief security officer, told THE CITY. "It's not only coming from the MTA, but from the business world, the AI business world, in working with us."

The 10-cent fare hike took effect this past weekend, pushing the base subway and bus ride to $3 for the first time in city history. New Yorkers woke up Sunday to a small but psychologically seismic shift at the turnstiles: the base fare for subways and buses has officially hit $3. The 10-cent increase, approved last fall by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, nudges the fare up to $3 and marks the first time the system has crossed that threshold in its 120-year history.
