Mass transit service in the New York City region, which was drastically curtailed during the blizzard on Monday, is gradually returning. But Tuesday’s commute is not expected to be anything like normal, and some lines are likely to remain suspended. Here’s a status report on the region’s transit systems as of 8 p.m. Monday.
-
NJ Transit light rail service in Newark and Hudson Counties is running again, but the bulk of the agency’s trains and buses remain suspended “until conditions safely allow for the gradual resumption of service.” It’s unclear when that will be.
-
PATH trains are running to 33rd Street, but not to World Trade Center.
-
The Long Island Rail Road plans to resume limited service on the Ronkonkoma, Huntington, Babylon, Oyster Bay, Montauk and Port Washington branches at 4 a.m. Tuesday.
-
Metro-North Railroad is running, with limited service, except for the Port Jervis and Pascack Valley lines, which remain suspended.
-
Subway lines have many delays and route modifications, but are running except for the C train and the Staten Island Railway. New York City buses are running with delays.
