Riders on the 1 train will need to find alternate routes because on Saturday, the 1 train won't be stopping at 168th Street and St. Nicholas due to elevator repairs.
Transit Chief Andy Byford says they have to fix all four elevators at once.
"Only having two elevators is insufficient to safely get people to and from the platform," he said.
That's because 26,000 people use the busy stop on a daily basis.
Commuters say it will be a pain.
"It's such an inconvenience," one woman said.
There will be additional M5 bus service available, riders can also take the A or C trains.
