Mudanças nas linhas de metrô e ônibus de NYC

Por Gustavo Bonelli

Num esforço para reduzir o deficit de quase USD 800 milhões no seu orçamento, a MTA (empresa responsável pelo transporte público de NY) implementou a partir de 27 de junho de 2010 uma série de mudanças nas linhas de metro e ônibus. A principal delas foi a eliminação dos trens V e W. Não existe mais o serviço expresso da linha N e foi criada a nova linha M. Abaixo, as mudanças em detalhes.
