NEW YORK - Local, Limited-Stop and Express Bus service will operate as close to a normal weekday schedule as possible today, as NYC Transit and MTA Bus continue efforts to restore service following Hurricane Sandy. As was the case yesterday, bus service will operate on a fare-free basis.  Subway service remains suspended on all lines, as clean up and water remediation efforts continue, especially in underwater tunnels linking Brooklyn and Manhattan that were flooded during the storm.

Access-A-Ride will begin limited service on Wed Oct 31.   If you need a trip of medical necessity (dialysis, chemotherapy or radiation) please call 1-877-337-2017, and every effort will be made to provide the trip.  Please note that all subscription trips for Wed. Oct 31 and Thurs Nov 1 are cancelled.  On Wed Oct 31 beginning at noon, we will begin to take reservations for travel after 12pm on Thurs Nov. 1.   This will begin the resumption of Access-A-Ride service.

Both Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North Railroad service remains suspended today, as damage assessment and repair work continues on the nation’s two largest commuter railroads continues. All of the bridges operated by MTA Bridges & Tunnels are open to traffic with the exception of the Cross Bay Bridge. The Hugh L. Carey and Queens Midtown Tunnels remain closed.
