How to fix New York MTA not working
New York MTA is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

Reload and restart
Reload the page (Ctrl+F5, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac), or fully close the app and open it again.
Try another connection

Problems at the same time as New York MTA

How we track New York MTA
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for New York MTA, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for New York MTA, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. New York MTA doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
