On November 17, 2019, New York City Transit cut weekday evening 3, 4 and 5 service in order to accommodate planned subway work. This change, which was approved by the MTA Board on June 27, 2019, reduced the span of 5 service between Dyre Avenue and Bowling Green by one hour, from 11 p.m. to 10 p.m., with Dyre Avenue Shuttle service beginning an hour earlier. These changes in service were expected to save the agency $0.9 million annually. In addition, on this date, two reverse-peak 5 trains to Wakefield–241st Street began terminating at Gun Hill Road, running express north of East 180th Street.
