Improving the New York City subway experience

Improved subway service in New York City—more trains and better service—is a boon for New Yorkers and visitors to the capital of the world.
At a press conference that took place right at the entrance to the subway on Surf Avenue, the head of the New York MTA and department directors on July 2, in the presence of the press, announced that service would be improved for passengers who use the subway on lines B, D, J, M, 3 and 5. This is especially important now that the beaches are open, schools are on holiday and the weather is very hot. "All we're thinking about is how to improve the passenger experience, so we thought it was important to get out here and talk to passengers and learn how they get to their destinations," MTA officials said.
Service on the B, D, J, M, 3 and 5 trains will be improved during the midday and evening hours on weekdays. Passengers will see trains arriving every 8 minutes during the midday and evening periods. From Saturday 6 July, lines 3 and 5 will have improved weekend service, with trains arriving every 10 minutes.
During the pandemic, public transportation suffered heavy losses as many stopped using its services due to COVID-19, rats, homeless people and crime. As service was being cut across the country, Gov. Kathy Hochul fought to save the MTA and expand subway service. “These improvements have brought more riders back to the subway and provided more affordable and reliable transportation for New Yorkers,” MTA officials said.
In addition to improving service, the MTA is expanding the Rockaway Park Shuttle to 10-car trains and extending the shuttle route to Rockaway Blvd on weekends through September 1st. From 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, an expanded shuttle will operate from Rockaway Blvd., allowing beachgoers to transfer to the A train serving the Lefferts Blvd and Far Rockaway lines.
MTA Chairman and CEO Janno Lieber said, "New Yorkers are planning beach days, and public transit is the most affordable travel option." NYC Transit Interim President Demetrius Critchlow added, "Customers say improved service and shorter wait times will bring them back to the subway. We're excited to improve service to ensure riders have a great summer ride on the New York City subway." MTA Chief Customer Officer Shanifa Riara said, "These improvements will benefit riders in Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan and the Bronx, especially during school holidays."
These improvements are made possible by $35 million requested by Mayor Eric Adams in New York State's FY 2024 budget to improve subway service. At the press conference, the question was also asked: “Will the metro fare remain $2.90, as it is today, or will it rise in price?” MTA employee Ray Mundy answered the question: “The subway fare will remain $2.90.”
Please note: I use public transport and often meet people who ask where they can top up their travel card. I inform you that I use my phone to pay for travel, and the money is automatically transferred from my account. It is also important to note that if you have a low income, you can get a New York City transit ticket for half the price.

Frozen Poetry: French Porcelain in New York – Refinement and Sophistication
When we heard about the museum robbery in France, it was exciting to visit the heart of New York, where the first exhibition outside of France dedicated to the famous Sèvres Manufactory opened—the legendary center of porcelain art, where works of timeless beauty are born from snow-white clay.

MAG ZAKHAR +380954248510

I'm a backend developer. My life was all about structure, algorithms, and clear cause-and-effect relationships. And then, a year and a half ago, this algorithm failed. At work, I was in a stupor, projects were burning out, even though the code was perfect. At home, it was cold, there were arguments out of nowhere, and the apartment felt like it smelled of mold, even though it was clean. On the outside, I was a successful IT specialist, but on the inside, I was a wreck. I tried therapy, a change of routine, and exercise—nothing. It was as if an invisible barrier was holding me back. Then, in the smoking room, a casual acquaintance I'd only seen once in my life suddenly started telling me how Zakhar had gotten his wife back. Naturally, I chuckled to myself, but his eyes… They sparkled with such sincerity that I decided: I have nothing to lose but time and need to get his contact information. I messaged Zakhar on WhatsApp at +380954248510 and asked for a consultation. For me, it was an experiment. But Zakhar impressed me so much with his abilities! He's truly a clairvoyant, able to see a person's life as if he'd lived it himself. Right down to the details. I didn't even have to tell him anything—Zakhar saw my problems himself, explained their origins, and offered options. I asked Zakhar for help. The work lasted several weeks. But during the process, for the first time in a long time, I felt lighter. It was as if a virus had been draining my system of resources. What next? A month later, I was promoted and given a dream project, one I'd once nipped in the bud. Home? I woke up one day and felt as if I loved my wife as much as I had the first year. All the arguments disappeared, replaced by peace and humor. I still don't know how to explain it scientifically. But as a troubleshooting specialist, I can say that Zakhar found and fixed a bug that no other tool could detect. He's a true master of debugging fate. I recommend him to anyone tired of fighting invisible resistance. Recommendation from IT Specialist: Zakhar (Magical Help) Field of expertise: Software development, 12 years of experience. Name: Igor R. I approach life and work purely rationally. Therefore, when a period of inexplicable setbacks began in my life—a key deal gone awry, constant conflicts in personal relationships, a sudden deterioration in health—I initially attributed it to stress and burnout. However, no standard methods (vacation, vitamins, medical examinations) produced results. I contacted him after a chance encounter with a man who openly shared how the magician Zakhar had helped him restore his family, bringing his wife back after a seemingly final divorce. With my level of skepticism, this sounded incredible, but I decided to consider it an unconventional, extreme method. Contacting Zakhar and his work: Zakhar didn't promise miracles or use dubious paraphernalia. The diagnosis was precise and concise: the presence of negative energy-informational influence (damage) affecting my career and personal life. The "cleansing" process was gradual and took several weeks. Key results (objective changes): 1. Career: Within two months of completing my work with Zakhar, I not only managed to restore the broken deal but also received a promotion offer with increased responsibility. The feeling of "tilting at windmills" at work completely disappeared. 2. Personal Life: Tension in our relationship that had been lingering for months was resolved within a week. My wife and I were able to return to constructive dialogue and harmony, without any apparent external reasons for such a dramatic positive shift. 3. General Condition: The constant feeling of anxiety and physical heaviness disappeared. I can't explain Zakhar's actions from a scientific perspective, but I can confirm their high effectiveness. For those who, like me, value concrete results, Zakhar is a specialist capable of solving problems inaccessible to standard logical or psychological approaches. Based on my personal experience and that of the friend who recommended me, I offer this recommendation.
 

Martha gave me back my family and my meaning in life! I will be grateful to her for the rest of my days. I will leave her number +380931150260 Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram

I didn't believe that anything could be fixed in my situation. It was the end... I knew it. I had ruined everything myself: I had cheated on someone else, my wife found out, packed her things, took the children, and simply disappeared from my life. All that remained was emptiness, silence, and the feeling that I was the biggest fool in the world. My friends had turned away, the walls at home were cold, and in my head there was only one thing: I had lost everything. In this state, I went to the fortune teller Marfa. Not even with hope... more out of despair. But Marfa said things that only someone with a deeper understanding could know. She didn't judge, didn't pressure, but seemed to look straight into my soul and saw not only my guilt, but also my pain, the regret that I couldn't express to anyone. She said that all was not lost, that my wife's heart was not completely closed. She performed a ritual, gave instructions on what not to do and, conversely, how to proceed. I did everything she said, even though at times it seemed pointless. And then something happened that I'm still afraid to believe. My wife got in touch herself. Then... the first conversation, the first look without hatred, the first tears. And then she came back. With the children. Returned to the house that was once ours, but for me had become an emptiness. Today I understand it was a true miracle. And if anyone says Martha doesn't help... let them first experience what I experienced. She didn't just give me back my wife. She gave me back my family, my meaning in life! I will be grateful to her for the rest of my days. I will leave her number +380931150260 Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram
 

Feedback on fortune telling - everything came true down to the last detail

I had a Tarot reading done by this clairvoyant. I was shocked - she described my life and inner experiences so accurately. She predicted events for the coming months, and some of them have already come true. She was especially helpful in matters of relationships, now I understand where to go and with whom I should continue communicating, and with whom I shouldn't. A very competent and sensitive woman, you can feel that she works with her soul. Contact number: +1 (646) 377-9379. I recommend her with all my heart!
