The MTA is implementing upgrades to the L line, increasing its capacity to handle 22 trains per hour between 8 and 9 am, up from the previous 20. NYC Transit President Demetrius Crichlow highlighted that these improvements arrive at a pivotal moment when subway service is remarkably improving. Although average weekday ridership remains at 4 million—down from 5.5 million pre-pandemic—the MTA continues to refine service patterns, adapting to changing commuter behaviors amid the rise of hybrid work schedules, at an added annual investment of $600,000.
