Upcoming May transit updates include several service changes across New York and Boston. In Boston, the MBTA has planned multiple diversions: the Green Line's Magoun Square station will be bypassed on May 4 for accessibility ramp work, with alternative bus routes and an accessible van provided. The Red Line will see suspensions between Park St and JFK/UMass from May 2-10 for track improvements, with shuttle services available in the evenings. Additionally, the Fairmount, Middleborough, Greenbush, and Kingston lines will experience weekend service replacements by express buses due to bridge replacement projects and other maintenance, affecting services on May 4-5 and May 11-12, 18-19 respectively. In New York, the Manhattan-bound 6 train will run express from Pelham Bay to Hunts Point Av on May 11-12, with a stop at Parkchester, due to unspecified reasons.
