While MTA New York City Transit’s (NYCT) overnight shutdown has not been canceled, it will be cut in half.
The move is effective Feb. 22.
Millions of New Yorkers and others interested in the transit scene were shocked when the iconic all-night service on the New York subways came to an end on May 6 last year, due to the COVID-19 virus.
Although the trains are still running through the night so they are positioned for cleaning, which is required to fight the virus and to move employees around the system, riders have not been allowed on board between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m. That ban on non-employees will be reduced to two hours, between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m.
