Planned

The R train service will be extended to run late at night from Bay Ridge in Brooklyn directly into Manhattan, allowing passengers to travel without transferring. Previously, the R train operated as a shuttle between Bay Ridge-95th Street and 36th Street in Sunset Park at night. This extension aims to reduce wait times and provide additional travel options for riders in south Brooklyn.
