The subway normally operates 24 hours a day with five different service patterns: rush-hour, midday, evening, weekend and late-night. Each service has a table in its article to show what tracks are used and when. This article lists all the current services, along with their lines and terminals and a brief description; see Unused New York City Subway service labels for unused and defunct services.

In the New York City Subway nomenclature, numbered or lettered "services" use different segments of physical trackage, or "lines". The services that run on certain lines change depending on the time of day.

Time periods

The New York City Subway is one of the few subways worldwide operating 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, every day of the year. The schedule is divided into different periods, with each containing different operation patterns and train intervals.

The MTA defines time periods as follows; these are used in articles (sometimes abbreviated by numbers in superscript or the symbol indicated):

• Template:NYCS SSI (1) rush hours – 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., Monday–Friday
  • Template:NYCS SSI (1a) rush hours in the peak direction (toward Manhattan in the morning, away from Manhattan in the afternoon)
• (2) middays – 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday–Friday
  • (2a) middays in the peak direction
  • (2b) middays in the non-peak direction
• Template:NYCS SSI (3) evenings – 8:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m., Monday–Friday
  • (3a) early evenings – 8:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
  • (3b) evenings in the peak direction
  • (3c) early evenings in the peak direction – 8:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
• Template:NYCS SSI (4) weekends – 6:30 a.m. to 12:00 a.m., Saturday and Sunday (weekends during the day)
• Template:NYCS SSI (5) late nights – 12:00 a.m. to 6:30 a.m., every day
  • (5a) weekday late nights
  • (5b) weekend late nights

Other symbols are derivatives and are defined based on the rules above:

• Template:NYCS SSI – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
  • Template:NYCS SSI 24 hours a day, except rush hours in the peak direction
  • Template:NYCS SSI 24 hours a day, except weekdays in the peak direction
• Template:NYCS SSI daily – criteria (1), (2), (3), and (4) above (all times except late nights)
  • Template:NYCS SSI daytime hours only, except rush hours in the peak direction
  • Template:NYCS SSI daily – criteria (1), (2), (3), (4), and (5b) above (all times except weekday late nights)
• Template:NYCS SSI weekdays – criteria (1), (2), and (3) above (weekdays during the day)
• Template:NYCS SSI weekdays and weekday nights – criteria (1), (2), (3), and (5a) above
• Template:NYCS SSI nights and weekends – criteria (4) and (5) above
  • Template:NYCS SSI weekends and weekend nights – criteria (4) and (5b) above
• Template:NYCS SSI limited service during rush hours – criterion (1) above, but only for selected trains
  • Template:NYCS SSI limited service during rush hours in the peak direction
• Template:NYCS SSI service during rush hours in the reverse peak direction – opposite of criteria (1) above
  • Template:NYCS SSI limited service during rush hours in the reverse peak direction

Several services operate shorter routes during lower ridership hours, but these are neither signed differently nor counted as separate services. Although service changes caused by General Orders for construction occur on most days during midday and overnight hours, and throughout most weekends, these changes are not counted as separate services.

History

See New York City Subway nomenclature for a complete explanation; this is just a table of when each service has existed (and been signed for the public). Shuttles were SS until 1985, when they became {{ #if: | S | S }}{{

1. if:

  |  {{{service}}}

}}{{

1. if:

  | ({{{3}}})

}} (which had been used for specials). See here for the colors used for shuttles in 1967; in 1968 all six became green, and in 1979 all shuttles became dark gray.
