Received the following message from the Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC):
Please be advised that on Saturday, June 4th - Sunday, June 5th, the Tram will be operating a single cabin only due to electrical improvements to the cabin suspension. During this time, the Tram will provide service every 15 minutes. Normal service will resume on Monday, June 6th at 6 AM.

In addition, On Saturday, June 11th- Sunday, June 12th, the Tram will be undergoing mechanical improvements to the cabin suspension. During this time, the Tram will provide service every 15 minutes. Normal service will resume on Monday, June 13th at 6 AM.

Red Bus service will operate on its normal weekend schedule.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have on your commute and thank you for your patience during these service changes.

Sincerely,

I was a little confused when I saw this email from RIOC -- isn't that what the weekend schedule is normally supposed to be? I know they've been running both cabins at times on the weekends the last couple of weeks (especially when the F is out of service), but isn't the official weekend schedule every 15 minutes?

RIOC recently changed weekend Tram policy to run both cabins between 12 PM and 8 PM even when subway service is normal.
