New York City Unveils Concepts for Cross-Borough V Train

10/23/2024

Proposals to better connect cross-borough lovers via the V Train.

NYC DOT and NYSDOT introduced concepts for the Cross‑Borough V Train, designed to support relationships that span multiple boroughs through faster, more reliable connections.

Workshops will gather community input. Partner agencies include DCP, DOLWB, and NYCTA.

Short‑ and mid‑term concepts: improve safety and accessibility; designated “Couples‑Only” cars. Long‑term ideas: new express tracks, “Romance Conductor” role, and Valentine’s Day service.

Public engagement sessions include in‑person and virtual events; interpretation services provided.

City and state officials emphasized the V Train’s role in reshaping how New Yorkers maintain relationships across the city’s urban landscape.
