Call 911 or notify MTA personnel ASAP if you see something unsafe or threatening. You can also tell us via social media and we will help you summon assistance as fast as possible. Give us as much detail you can about what's happening and where.
What to include in your message to us:
- What subway line or bus route are you asking about?
- What direction are you traveling?
- Where are you?
- What's the four-digit train car or three-digit bus number you're on?
In stations, tell us as much as you can about where you are, and what's going on: “There's an overflowing trash can in the front of the downtown platform at 33 St on the 6.” “The screen at the entrance to 7 Av on the NE corner of 53 St/7 Av is down.”
We‘ll route your feedback to the right team.
We can help you with:
- real-time service updates
- the location of the next train/bus
- route planning assistance
- navigating planned work
- general info about the system, how it works, and other fun tidbits
We can't help if you:
- display explicit harassment
- use violent language towards us or anybody else
- make racist, sexist, homophobic, ableist, or any other hateful comments
Please remember that we’re a bunch of real people behind the screen. And we understand being abrupt, frustrated, or annoyed. (We even made a video about mean comments we’ve gotten on Twitter.)
Unless your conduct with our feeds crosses a line, we’ll never block you. But if you harass, spam, or consistently troll and abuse our staff, we won’t answer you anymore.
If you use hate speech, we’ll report your tweets to Twitter. If you threaten specific acts of violence, we’re obligated to notify NYPD immediately.
