NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Eighteen public restrooms at nine New York City subway stations reopened Monday after being closed during the pandemic.
The bathrooms — one male and one female — will be open daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. with a one-hour closure for cleaning from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m.
Bathrooms reopened at the following stations on Monday:
161st Street–Yankee Stadium (B/D)
14th Street-Union Square (4/5/6)
East 180th Street (2/5)
42nd Street-Bryant Park (B/D/F/M)

Kings Highway (B/Q)
Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Avenue (E/F/M/R)

The MTA said that it used the shutdown to carry out necessary repairs on the restrooms, including a thorough cleaning, new/painted privacy panels, the installation of new motion-activated faucets, new fixtures and new lighting.
"The pandemic created many challenges to providing faster, cleaner, safer service in the transit system," said New York City Transit President Richard Davey. "But as ridership continues to rebound, we’re pleased to provide relief to customers by reopening some bathrooms across the transit system. When customers have got to go on the go, we’ve now got them covered at select stations."
