NYC commuters grumble over MTA’s coronavirus scrubdown shutdown replacement bus service

Instead of replacing subway service with shuttles that run between stations — the MTA’s usual practice when a stretch of subway track is shut down for night or weekend repair work — the agency decided to enhance regular bus service.Service was beefed up on 61 lines — including 24 lines that do not normally operate overnight. The agency added 1,168 bus runs, and put an extra 344 buses into service, officials said.
