MTA Says ‘Please Take Another Train Line if You Can' as Major Subway Delays Strike Between Brooklyn, Manhattan

The MTA's message to commuters who grappled with huge delays and service changes between Brooklyn and Manhattan Wednesday was simple: "Please take another train line if you can." 

The agency tweeted the message shortly before 10 a.m. as delays mounted on the B, D, F and M lines amid limited service between boroughs. The problem was related to a switch at Herald Square, the MTA said. 

Service had been restored with residual delays within half an hour. 

Some A and C trains were also experiencing delays because of signal problems at Van Siclen Avenue.
