Here is the Thanksgiving 2016 service plan for MTA NYC Transit:

New York City Subways

New York City subways will operate on a Sunday schedule on Thanksgiving Day. The closest subway stations to the start of the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade are the Subway at 79 Street and the Subway at 81 Street. There will be additional service on the Subway 42 Street Shuttle as well as increased early morning service on the Subway line.

New York City Buses

Buses operated by MTA New York City Transit and the MTA Bus Company will operate on a Sunday schedule on Thanksgiving Day. There are many routes that either do not operate on Sundays or do not run on part of the route at certain hours. Customers traveling on Thanksgiving Day should check Sunday schedules, lines and routes.

Customers travelling on Thanksgiving Day are advised to expect delays on all bus routes in Manhattan, especially those operating in Midtown, in and around the parade area. Due to street closures, crosstown traffic between 85 Street and 24 Street between Madison Av and 8 Av will be diverted. The following bus routes will be impacted by the parade: M4, M5, M7, M10, M20, M31, M34/34A SBS, M42, M50, M57, M66, M72, M79, M104, BxM2 Q32, QM2, QM4, QM5, QM6, and X1. Details will be provided at www.mta.info under “Service Status.” On Black Friday, November 27, service will operate on a weekday schedule with some exceptions listed at http://www.mta.info
