For those in the Greater New York area who had to travel to work on Monday, the commute was rough — or, in some cases, impossible. Tuesday should be better, but expect delays and modifications across several modes of transit.
NJ Transit
The network’s more than 250 bus routes were expected to operate on a regular weekday schedule on Tuesday, a spokesman for the agency said. But train service was slower in getting back up to speed. Most rail service will use a schedule similar to weekend service, he said, but the Atlantic City train line will run as usual.
Service on the Princeton Dinky, Pascack Valley and Gladstone lines, which had suspended through Monday, were expected to resume weekend-like service on Tuesday.
Port Authority
PATH Train service was expected to return to normal on Tuesday after the rail lines operated Monday on a Saturday schedule, a spokesman for the agency said.
The Midtown Bus Terminal will be open, but riders should consult with their carrier to confirm if their route will be in service.
The airports operated by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey — including John F. Kennedy International, Newark Liberty International and LaGuardia — were open on Monday afternoon, trying to catch up after the cancellation of numerous flights over the weekend. The AirTrain at Kennedy was up and running, while the one at Newark was partially restored.
M.T.A.: Subways, City Buses, Long Island Railroad and Metro-North
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which runs the subways, city buses and two railroads, said commuters could continue to expect normal service Tuesday morning, except on the Waterbury Branch of the Metro-North Rail Road, where buses will be used to substitute rail service.
