Everyone:
On a visit to the NYC Transit Information Center - 3 Stone Street in Downtown Manhattan - during the Summer I discovered that NYC Transit no longer
prints timetables for any of the Subway lines...I remember them being readily available there and it was my first visit there in about 5 years...
The only rail timetable available is the Staten Island Railway timetable effective October 4, 2015 which is a combination of Subway and Commuter Rail...
I have a set of NYC Subway Train Timetables effective December 12,2010 with the most recent being the A Train TT dated June 26,2011...
I remember that they used to sometimes be available at stations on either a rack easel or at booths...They were good especially for those that used
the Subways during off-hours and in cases they showed interesting service variations such as the one peak hour that J/Z skip stop trains operated -
Westbound peak AM and Eastbound peak PM between Downtown Manhattan and Jamaica Center on weekdays...
I asked and was told that these NYCT Train Timetables were discontinued "a couple of years ago" and my question is:
Does anyone know what the last editions of these timetables were and why they were discontinued?
I now know to hold on to the timetable set I have - more then likely they will not be printed again...
They would probably be in a PDF form only available through the Internet today...
