SS Train FAQ

Route, Stops & Service Pattern

What is the route of the SS Train?

Runs on weekdays during peak hours only, operating on a shortened route with early turn-backs instead of serving the full Great Kills–Tottenville line. Officially labeled as the Staten Island Short Stop.

Is the SS line operating right now, and how many SS trains are running?

Yes—the SS line is running, but only under Unstable Service in our model (uneven gaps). Our live feed maps about 6 active train(s) on this line right now.

Is the SS train running well right now?

Right now our algorithm rates this line as Unstable Service based on recent wait times and live reliability. There are no active alerts for this route in our feed right now.

When does the SS service change?

Service patterns often change during late nights (11 PM – 5 AM) and weekends for planned work. Always check active alerts.

How much does an NYC Subway ride on the SS train cost (OMNY, Apple Pay, card)?

A standard one-way NYC Subway fare—including the SS train—is $3.00 when you tap OMNY at the turnstile (official MTA base fare as of July 2026). You can pay with a contactless credit or debit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or a physical or digital OMNY card. Free in-system transfers and time-limited transfers to other MTA subway lines and local buses follow MTA rules; for discounts, commuter benefits, and the latest fare rules, open AP Transit on our homepage.

Which stations on the SS line have accessibility (ADA)?

These stations on this line are marked as fully ADA accessible in our static database (always verify elevators and gates on site):

Accessible stops

Tottenville, Arthur Kill, Huguenot, Great Kills, Dongan Hills, St George

For elevator status and accessible routing in AP Transit, use AP Transit on the map.

How often does the SS train come, and what is the maximum wait?

Right now, SS trains are arriving approximately every 15 minutes on average. In our current measurement window, the longest gaps between SS trains reach about 15 minutes (worst-case spacing—your station and direction may differ).

Which stations may have spacing issues for the next SS train (ETA on the arriving train)?

For the next SS train arriving at each listed stop, our feed’s ETA reliability score on that arrival is low. Scores under 60 usually align with about five minutes of extra variability; scores under 30 can mean larger gaps ahead. Stations are grouped by severity—at most two panels.

Higher delays
