To add the "Full and partial subway closures"
editBefore 2011 there have been some full subway closures for NYC transit strikes (1-13 January 1966, 1-11 April 1980, 20-22 December 2005) and blackouts (9 November 1965, 13-14 July 1977, 14-16* August 2003). I think that it is necessary to add them.
- Friday 15 August at 9:30 pm the power was restored to the entire city, but only Saturday morning 16 August around 6:00 am, the MTA resumed services throughout the City.
Deinterlining
editA section should be added on the concept of deinterlining the NYC subway. 2600:1003:B13F:7982:8400:BC6C:8046:D94C (talk) 15:04, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

- And through running and missed connections? Like the place the lines cross in East Brooklyn and there's no transfer. Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 18:37, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- Sadly, nearly all of the sources that talk about this are blogs or other self-published sources. I would support the addition of such a section, however, if reliable sources did discuss this. – Epicgenius (talk) 01:17, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- There is precedent-the 1959 switch on the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line at 96th Street, but it was not discussed as such. Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 20:58, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
Off-peak headway in infobox is inaccurate
editI see that it says 8-16 minutes, but this is inaccurate, because late night headways are 20 minutes on all lines except those that are suspended overnight. I see that the A train is cited, but that actually runs every 20 minutes on its branches on weekends, not every 16, so should it be changed? Also, I'm pretty sure minimum off-peak headways are every 4 minutes on the 6 train during middays. (Or we could exclude the shuttles and A train branches and change the off-peak headways to every 4-12 minutes). Fastfoodfanatic (talk) 15:03, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
- for the record, "off peak" and "late night" are two different things. Also, yes, it's every 4 minutes, but those do alternate between Parkchester and Pelham bound services.Metropod (talk) 06:11, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
- Even then, the 1/7/L trains definitely have more frequent off-peak service, and the A train branches have service every 20 minutes on weekends. Fastfoodfanatic (talk) 13:45, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
