NYC Subway Guide

So where do I find out about Route Changes?

If you decided to check out Hopstop.com, then you know that they do not account for route changes in the subway due to construction, track repair, etc. Here is what you can do:

1. Go to Hopstop.com and get your directions and print them.
   
2. Then go to the MTA service advisories web page and click on whichever applies to you. Hopefully the MTA website will show current information.
3. After you decipher the advisories that apply to you, make corrections on your printout and take them with you.
4. Once you get to the subway, listen for announcements (if you can make out what anyone is saying). If you still can't hear what the station announcement is (over the station public address system) or you cannot hear the conductor's announcement, then ask a transit worker for information.
   

TIPS: Remember, transit workers get asked many questions all day. Be prepared to tell them which stop you are going to (your final destination). Don't ask them how to get to a specific address!
