The MTA is deploying fare enforcement agents across New York City subway stations as part of a new crackdown on fare evasion. The initiative will rely on technology and accountability, with agents equipped to verify payments and issue fines on the spot. Officials say the move comes after significant revenue losses from unpaid fares, which have strained the transit system’s budget. | CBS New York

New York City's F and M subway lines are permanently switching routes starting Monday. Riders in Manhattan and Queens have been preparing for the change, which the MTA hopes will reduce train congestion. The swap officially took effect at 6 a.m. Monday and runs on weekdays through 9:30 p.m., with no change to late-night service on either line. Officials say the swap reduces the number of trains that have to merge or cross, especially at bottlenecks at Queens Plaza. | CBS New York
