Subway shakeup: MTA swaps F and M lines; service changes to affect commuter travel
"Starting this December, commuters will have to learn new stops on the F and M lines, at least during weekdays. The F and M train service between Manhattan and Queens will be switched to eliminate a merge at Queens Plaza that the agency said has caused delays for Queens Boulevard Line riders."
"We've received a lot of customer feedback regarding delays on the F line, NYC Transit Senior Vice President of Subways Bill Amarosa said on Sept. 29. Swapping the F and M lines will increase reliability, reduce delays and create a more comfortable ride for everyone."
"The new service pattern between the Queens Boulevard corridor and Manhattan will be in effect weekdays from 6 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. During this time, the F will run via the 53rd Street line and Queens Plaza, alongside the E train. It will make stops at Queens Plaza, Court Square, Lexington Avenue-53rd Street and Fifth Avenue-53rd Street."
The MTA will swap weekday F and M train routes between Manhattan and Queens beginning Dec. 8, 2025, with changes active weekdays from 6 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. The F will run via the 53rd Street line and Queens Plaza, stopping at Queens Plaza, Court Square, Lexington Avenue-53rd Street and Fifth Avenue-53rd Street. The M will run via the 63rd Street line and Roosevelt Island, stopping at 21st Street-Queensbridge, Roosevelt Island, Lexington Avenue-63rd Street and 57th Street. Late evenings, nights and weekend service patterns will remain unchanged, with the F serving the 63rd Street stops at those times.
