The only blog written from the NYC Subway system

  iPhone users can get a nifty little app for their device that shows a full New York City subway map.  It’s a spawn of the infamous iPodmaps. iSubwayMaps.com now offers up the service.  It’s free.  SUBWAYblogger doesn’t have a iPhone, but we’d sure like one!  Have you tried it?  Let us know how it [...]

Subway service on the 4, 5, and 6, and 7 in Manhattan has been restored.  However, all subway trains are still bypassing Grand Central Terminal.  The S train service is still not running.

All I gotta say is two things.  1) I told you so and 2) good luck getting to work on the East Side tomorrow. Ok, so earlier today, I ranted on and on about how shockingly perfect my morning commute was despite the horrible weather.  At the end, I mentioned that I hoped it would [...]

A sad day.  Mayor Bloomberg’s Congestion Pricing Bill has been killed.  It was a bloody day in Albany. There his plan fell to a confluence of local politics and a showdown between a mayor who knew he was right and a Legislature in no mood these days to be pushed around by an aggressive executive.

Ok, how freaking lame.  Clearly, SUBWAYblogger needs to get dirtier.  Right now, we are earning the rating of a third rate summer flick. Seriously?  Just PG-14? This, according to a little tool on this website.   BRN earned and impressive NC-17 rating.  At least we now have something to aspire to.

If you recall, back in May the new MTA President decided that he wanted to create a grading system for the city’s subways and buses. Basically, riders will be given the opportunity to fill out survey cards about all things transit. Yeah, the Straphanger’s Campaign has been doing this for years now, but I guess [...]

Did you venture to the Lower East Side last night for fireworks?  Remember your umbrella?   Well, SUBWAYblogger did. It wasn’t bad getting there really.  We transferred at Times Square and took the downtown N train.  Not much waiting time at around 7:30pm.  Took that down to 23rd Street. Since we got there a little ahead [...]
