Three of the shuttles ran along the IND Sixth Avenue Line.
Шаблон:AnchorThe first shuttle, designated with an orange S, began in August 1997. It ran late nights only from 21st Street–Queensbridge to Second Avenue via the IND 63rd Street Line and IND Sixth Avenue Line making local stops. Prior to that, Шаблон:NYCS and Шаблон:NYCS trainsШаблон:Efn served the IND 63rd Street Line during late nights. This service was suspended in February 1998 when construction suspended service between the 63rd Street Line and the Sixth Avenue Line, but it resumed in May 1999 when the construction was completed. It was discontinued in 2000 when preparation for full-time service on the IND 63rd Street Connector began.
Шаблон:AnchorThe second shuttle, also with an orange bullet, began on July 22, 2001, due to the closure of the north tracks on the Manhattan Bridge. It ran between 21st Street–Queensbridge and Broadway–Lafayette Street, running an almost identical route to the first. Unlike the first shuttle, this shuttle ran at all times, replacing the Шаблон:NYCS and Шаблон:NYCS trains which previously served the IND 63rd Street Line during daytime hours. On December 16, 2001, the 63rd Street connector to the IND Queens Boulevard Line opened and the Шаблон:NYCS train was rerouted to serve the IND 63rd Street Line at all times, permanently replacing this shuttle.[1] At the same time, the Grand Street Shuttle was lengthened to West Fourth Street–Washington Square.
The third shuttle runs from August 28, 2023, through the first quarter of 2024, F trains are rerouted via the 53rd Street Tunnel between Queens and Manhattan, and weekday M trains are truncated to 57th Street in Manhattan, due to track replacement and other repairs in the 63rd Street Tunnel. The shuttle runs every 20 minutes between Lexington Avenue-63rd Street and 21st Street-Queensbridge, stopping at Roosevelt Island, at all times except late nights. Shuttle buses run between Queens Plaza and 21st Street–Queensbridge during the day and between Queens Plaza and Roosevelt Island at night.[2][3]

This service, designated with a yellow S, ran at all times during reconstruction of the IND 63rd Street Line between February 22, 1998, and May 22, 1999. Originally running between 21st Street–Queensbridge and 57th Street–Seventh Avenue on the BMT Broadway Line via the BMT 63rd Street Line, it was extended to 34th Street–Herald Square on weekdays starting April 6, 1998, skipping 49th Street. The shuttle stopped at the downtown platform at 34th Street.[4] During this time, Шаблон:NYCS and Шаблон:NYCS trains terminated at 57th Street–Sixth Avenue, which was closed late nights, while the late night Sixth Avenue shuttle was suspended. Once work was completed, the Broadway shuttle was discontinued, the late night Sixth Avenue shuttle was restored, and Шаблон:NYCS and Шаблон:NYCS trains returned to 21st Street–Queensbridge.
