MTA Announces Weekend Transit Tweaks as Winter Storm Approaches

With a winter storm expected, the MTA will adjust weekend service: some subway express trains will run local while many planned changes are canceled; buses may have longer waits and snow-chain deployments; the LIRR will operate a modified Sunday schedule with no Ronkonkoma-Greenport service and reduced Babylon Branch; Metro-North will run hourly on Sunday on the Hudson, Harlem, and New Haven lines with West of Hudson service suspended after 2 p.m.; Monday will see Saturday schedules with extra rush-hour trains; riders should check the MTA TrainTime app or site and travel cautiously.

LIRR Strike Threatens Disruption for Long Island Commuters

Five unions representing nearly half of the Long Island Rail Road's workforce may strike as early as September 18 due to failed contract negotiations with the MTA, potentially disrupting service for nearly 300,000 daily riders. The MTA plans to implement shuttle buses and other measures to mitigate the impact, but warns that full service cannot be replaced. The dispute centers around wage increases and work rules, with unions demanding higher pay and the MTA citing already high salaries and cost concerns. A strike could significantly affect regional traffic, economy, and daily life.

"Violent Attack: LIRR Passenger Slashed in Face on Queens Train"

An LIRR rider was slashed in the face on a train in Queens in a horrifying attack, which was caught on video. The incident occurred when a 27-year-old man tried to board a Long Island Rail Road train and was confronted by a 32-year-old male suspect. The suspect repeatedly assaulted and slashed the victim with a box cutter, even using his own sneaker as a weapon, before being taken into custody. The victim was hospitalized, and the MTA condemned the attack, emphasizing that weapons have no place on trains. This comes after a separate violent incident on the subway where a man pulled out a gun, resulting in him being shot in self-defense.
