The Monday morning rush hour was upended on New York City\u2019s subway after multiple train lines faced rolling delays \u2014 some of them \u201csevere\u201d \u2014 according to the MTA.<\/p>\n
The transit agency said at one point that service on a dozen lines was disrupted due to either infrastructure issues or medical emergencies.<\/p>\n
As of around 8:15 a.m., service was severely delayed on the 2, 4, 5 and B trains, the MTA\u2019s website showed. There were delays in both directions on the first three lines because of an earlier signal malfunction near the Nevins Street station in Brooklyn. Downtown B trains were backed up after first responders responded to someone needing medical help at the Bedford Park Boulevard station in the Bronx.<\/p>\n
The MTA also reported significant delays on the 3, 7, M, J and Z trains. The latter three trains were dealing with signal problems on the Williamsburg Bridge, according to the transit agency. The delays on the 7 train were ascribed to a police response after passengers were being disruptive at the 40th Street-Lowery Street station in Queens.<\/p>\n
Earlier in the morning, Manhattan-bound E and downtown F trains were delayed as emergency medical workers responded to someone needing medical help at the Forest Hills-71st Avenue station in Queens.<\/p>\n
Modernizing signal systems is part of the MTA\u2019s latest five-year construction plan. The $5.4 billion investment will add a more efficient and upgraded signal system to various lines, transit officials have said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Monday morning rush hour was upended on New York City\u2019s subway after multiple train lines faced rolling…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":203263,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[9,56,63,65,64],"class_list":{"0":"post-203262","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-city","8":"tag-new-york","9":"tag-ny","10":"tag-nyc","11":"tag-nyc-headlines","12":"tag-nyc-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203262","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=203262"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203262\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/203263"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=203262"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=203262"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=203262"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
