If you ride any of the lines that stop at the Fulton Street/Broadway-Nassau complex, you would know that service to this station usually is under some sort of service diversion due to work on the Fulton Transit Center. Earlier this afternoon, MTA NYC Transit issued a press release with a look ahead to planned service diversions involving this project. Here are the complete details:

Due to ongoing construction of the Fulton Street Transit Center, the following service changes will be in effect for weekends in April:

April 3-5:

• A Train & C Train trains bypass Broadway-Nassau in both directions.

• No transfers between the A Train, C Train, 2 Train, 3 Train, 4 Train, & 5 Train at Fulton Street/Broadway-Nassau.

____

April 10-12:

• No Queens-bound A Train trains at Broadway-Nassau

• No C Train service; A Train trains operate local

April 17-19:

• A Train trains bypass Broadway-Nassau in both directions

• No transfers between the A Train, C Train, 2 Train, 3 Train, 4 Train, & 5 Train at Fulton Street/Broadway-Nassau.

The Fulton Street Transit Center:

Some of the work being done at Fulton Street/Broadway-Nassau during these weekends include reinforcing girders over the AC platform. There will also be elevator work, which consists of digging the pits on the AC platform and at least partially constructing the shafts up through all levels of the station.

How come the MTA in creating these announcements do not indicate whether “out of systems” transfers can be between the #4 and #5 lines, and the A and C trains at Chambers Street, with way-side signage or other notices?

The notices keep on saying what “can’t be done” and never say anything about what could be done instead! That is not helpful.

Sure the – “MTA NYC Transit apologizes for any inconvenience to our customers” but that is not the same as providing alternative travel methods for service disruptions.
