The days are getting shorter, the weather is getting chillier, and it's almost time to set our clocks back for the end of daylight saving time. (It changes Sunday at 2 a.m. — don't forget!).
If you're traveling late tonight, note that MetroCard vending machines won't accept credit or debit cards from midnight to 8 a.m. Saturday while we make software updates. Tap & go with OMNY, refill your MetroCard in advance, or pay with cash.
There's another big event happening this weekend on Sunday: The TCS New York City Marathon! If you're participating, remember that the uptown isn’t stopping at Whitehall St this weekend. So if you’re going to the Ferry from Brooklyn, transfer to the at Atlantic Av-Barclays Ctr.
If you're planning to cheer on friends and loved ones, the subway will be the best way to get to your viewing spot. Many buses along the marathon route will be detoured or partially suspended while runners do their thing, so it's best to avoid taking the bus if you can. If you can't, check for detours before you head out with our Planned Service Changes lookup tool.
