F & M Trains Swap Routes in Queens, Impacting Commuters
Update: 2025-12-08
Description
Queens F and M train riders face a significant service change this week, as the two subway lines swap routes between Queens and Manhattan. The F train now uses the Fifty-third Street tunnel, while M trains run through the Sixty-third Street tunnel via Roosevelt Island, from six AM to nine thirty PM. This swap aims to eliminate a long-standing merge issue at the Queens Plaza station, reducing delays and crowding. However, the initial rollout faced technical difficulties, causing delays and large crowds on platforms. Riders offer mixed reactions, with some finding the change confusing and others concerned about its weekday-only nature.
