s – 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., Monday–Friday
Other symbols are derivatives and are defined based on the rules above:
24 hours a day, 7 days a week Criteria (1), (2), (3), and (4) above (all times except late nights) Criteria (4) and (5) above (nights and weekends only) Criteria (1), (2), and (3) above (weekdays only)
A number of services operate shorter routes during lower ridership hours, but these are neither signed differently nor counted as separate services. Special services caused by General Orders or construction, usually during off-peak hours, are also not counted.
is divided into four different periods of time during weekdays, with each containing different operation patterns and train intervals:
Some services may not fit in that pattern exactly. On weekends, late night services are operated like on weekdays, but special weekend daytime patterns and intervals apply.
The schedule offers trains every 3 to 5 minutes on the most used sections during rush hours. During other traffic periods, intervals range usually from 4 to 12 minutes or up to 20 minutes on outer sections. During late nights, only selected express services are operated and all late night services usually run every 20 minutes; some stations are closed during late nights.
for a complete explanation; this is just a table of when each service has existed (and been signed for the public). Shuttles were SS until 1985, when they became S
(which had been used for specials). See here for the colors used for shuttles in 1967; in 1968 all six became green, and in 1979 all shuttles became dark gray.

Train intervals
The New York City Subway is one of the few subways worldwide, operating 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. The schedulePublic transport timetable
A public transport timetable is a representation of public transport information to assist a passenger with planning a trip using public transport. A timetable details when vehicle will arrive and depart specified locations and may be organised for by route or for a particular stop...
is divided into four different periods of time during weekdays, with each containing different operation patterns and train intervals:
- 00:00 – 06:30 late night
- 06:30 – 09:30 (morning) rush hour
- 09:30 – 15:30 midday
- 15:30 – 20:00 (afternoon) rush hour
- 20:00 – 24:00 evening
Some services may not fit in that pattern exactly. On weekends, late night services are operated like on weekdays, but special weekend daytime patterns and intervals apply.
The schedule offers trains every 3 to 5 minutes on the most used sections during rush hours. During other traffic periods, intervals range usually from 4 to 12 minutes or up to 20 minutes on outer sections. During late nights, only selected express services are operated and all late night services usually run every 20 minutes; some stations are closed during late nights.
