Introducing... Christopher St-Stonewall Station! 🏳️🌈🚉 To celebrate LGBTQ Pride Month, we unveiled the brand new name for this West Village 1 station located just steps away from the historic Stonewall Inn and the newly opened Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center.

We're launching Automated Enforcement Cameras on 14 bus routes across the city, in partnership with New York City Department of Transportation! These cameras will automatically issue violations to vehicles that obstruct bus lanes and bus stops, as well as double parked vehicles. These new cameras are now active on the B44-SBS, B46-SBS, Bx12-SBS, Bx19, B62, Bx41-SBS, Bx36, M14-SBS, M15-SBS, M23-SBS, M34-SBS, Q44-SBS, Q54, and Q58 routes. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eGtP-x33

This summer, we're continuing our work to install a new signaling system on the G line, which will improve reliability on the line. Longtime New York City Transit employee Hugo Zamora has been appointed the "G Train Czar" and will be overseeing customer service. Hugo started his MTA career as a station cleaner and has quickly grown into other managerial roles at New York City Transit, serving as the central point of coordination for the subway over-night shutdowns during the height of COVID-19.

Our Group Station Managers now have office hours! 🕰️ Riders will have the opportunity to meet and share feedback directly with GSMs, get info about OMNY, Fair Fares, Reduced-Fare, and more. Each GSM will hold Office Hours twice a month at select stations across the system on a rotating basis. Look for info on station screens & posters to find out when GSM Office Hours will be held at a station near you.

We're partnering with the Whitney Museum of American Art to bring its landmark exhibition, the Whitney Biennial, into the subway system! A special exhibition of vinyl artworks is now on view at W 4 St, Jay St-MetroTech, and Fordham Rd (4), bringing arts & culture to former retail spaces in our system. Additionally, the Whitney will offer in-station art-making activities at select stations throughout the summer, beginning tomorrow at 14 St-Union Sq. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eysqhXmq
