Here is the MTA NYC Transit’s service plan info for the upcoming St. Patrick’s Day holiday via the press release I received:

The following subway and bus changes will be in effect from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday:

At the 77 St line station, some staircases may be designated as entry/exit only, on both the uptown and downtown platforms due to crowd control.

If you’re traveling to the parade from Astoria, Queens, please note that service will be suspended in both directions between Astoria-Ditmars Blvd and Times Sq-42 St due to critical track replacement work. As an alternative, free shuttle buses will operate between Astoria-Ditmars Blvd and Queensboro Plaza, and the train will be available at Queensboro Plaza. Details about these changes are available on the Weekender app and website.

As a reminder some subway lines do not run on weekends: there will be no express service. trains will not run, and customers are reminded to use the instead of the .

The following NYC Transit and MTA Bus routes will be detoured in the area along the parade route: M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M31, M50, M55, M57, M66, M72, M79, M86, X1, X10, X17, X27, X28, BM1, BM2, BM3, BM4, BM5, BxM2, BxM3, BxM4, BxM6, BxM7, BxM8, BxM9, BxM10, BxM11, Q32 and most Staten Island Express buses.
