MTA Completes New 42 St Shuttle Between Times Square and Grand Central
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) on Friday celebrated the completion of the new 42 St Shuttle that connects Times Square and Grand Central Terminal. It’s the centerpiece of MTA’s broader 42 St Connection Project.
“This project had been talked about for literally decades and now we’ve finally gotten it done,” said MTA Acting Chairman and CEO Janno Lieber. “The new, fully ADA-accessible Shuttle is easier to navigate, with straightened tracks and a single, wider platform that will allow us to run longer trains during peak hours and speed up boarding times. This is a huge win for our customers as they continue to return to the system.”
Authority officials also used the opening of the new Shuttle service to formally launch a new “Welcome Back New York” campaign touting the benefits of mass transit as New Yorkers begin to return to work and school in the aftermath of the pandemic.
