纽约地铁A线停运九天：皇后区一段换信号，免费接驳巴士顶上
纽约市皇后区的地铁乘客本周要改路线了。纽约大都会运输署（MTA）宣布，因为信号现代化施工，地铁 A 线从11月7日凌晨0时30分起、到11月16日凌晨5时止共九天，不在 Rockaway Blvd 站与 Ozone Park-Lefferts Blvd 站之间运行。
停运期间，原本开往 Ozone Park-Lefferts Blvd 的列车一律改开 Howard Beach-JFK Airport 方向。104 St、111 St 与 Ozone Park-Lefferts Blvd 三站改由免费接驳巴士服务，巴士在停运期间全时段运行，乘客在 Rockaway Blvd 站换乘列车，该站设有无障碍设施。往返 Manhattan、Brooklyn 与 Queens 的乘客可照常乘坐 A 线，列车在 Inwood-207 St 与 Far Rockaway-Mott Av 或 Howard Beach-JFK Airport 之间运行。
MTA 说，这次停运是 Fulton 线与 Liberty 线信号现代化工程的开工段，这两条线承载 Jay St-MetroTech 与 Ozone Park-Lefferts Blvd 之间的 A、C 两线列车，部分信号设备早在1930年代就已安装。换上基于通信的现代列车控制系统之后，Brooklyn 与 Queens 一段的服务会更可靠。停运窗口内，施工队还将更换 104 St 附近的道岔与轨道。（来源：纽约大都会运输署）
New York Subway A Trains Suspended for Nine Days in Queens for Signal Modernization
NEW YORK — Subway riders in Queens face nine days of changed service. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) announced that, for signal modernization work, A trains will not run between Rockaway Blvd and Ozone Park-Lefferts Blvd from 12:30 a.m. on Saturday, November 7, to 5 a.m. on Monday, November 16.
During the suspension, trains that would normally run to Ozone Park-Lefferts Blvd are rerouted to Howard Beach-JFK Airport. Free shuttle buses will serve the 104 St, 111 St and Ozone Park-Lefferts Blvd stations at all times, stopping at both ends of the suspended segment, and riders transfer between trains and buses at Rockaway Blvd, which is an accessible station. For service between Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens, A trains continue to run between Inwood-207 St and Far Rockaway-Mott Av or Howard Beach-JFK Airport.
The MTA said the outage begins signal modernization on the Fulton and Liberty lines, which carry the A and C trains between Jay St-MetroTech and Ozone Park-Lefferts Blvd. Some of the signals on these lines were first installed in the 1930s, and replacing them with a modern communications-based train control system will enable better service through Brooklyn and Queens. Crews will also replace switches and track near 104 St during the outage. (Source: Metropolitan Transportation Authority)
