MTA Adds Weekday Trains on L and A Lines Starting Monday

Officials call the changes a congestion pricing payoff enabled by new power substations.

Overview

  • The service increases take effect Monday with immediate schedule changes on both lines.
  • The L line adds four morning peak round trips, including two in the 8 a.m. hour, between 14 St and Canarsie.
  • The MTA revised L schedules so weekday afternoon trains reach roughly four-minute headways 30 minutes earlier and waits shorten on weekend mornings.
  • Midday A service adds two trains, one to Far Rockaway and one to Lefferts Blvd., extending periods when trains run about eight minutes apart and reducing delays from yard moves.
  • Officials cite three new third-rail substations on the Canarsie line as the enabler and project reduced waits for about 100,000 weekday riders.
