The L’Apocalypse previously due to start on April 27, 2019 has possibly been cancelled. However, we at Go Green BK are frequent commuters, and want to be sure we are prepared for the cold winter months, with as few disappointing transit surprises as possible. For you, we have collected all the listed scheduled changes for the North Brooklyn Trains in January. Don’t you wish the MTA would make something like this available to us on their own?
