The MTA is shaking things up for commuters by swapping two major train lines between Manhattan and Queens, the agency announced on Monday.
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.”
