NJ Transit

Much of the New York City subway and NJ Transit service remained suspended Friday morning following a night that saw commuters rescued from stalled trains underground and stations flooded with historic deluges from Ida. NBC New York’s team coverage.

By Thursday night, only the city’s W and E subway lines were still shut down, though partial suspensions were reported on almost a dozen lines and nearly that many had delays. NBC New York’s Jessica Cunnington reports.

The subways – which famously run 24/7 – were brought to a complete halt because of Hurricane Ida’s remnants. Jessica Cunnington reports.

The subway system was no match for Ida. Natalie Pasquarella talks with the acting chair of the MTA about the situation.

Henri may have moved eastward enough to avoid making landfall on Long Island, but the tri-state area is still dealing with plenty of repercussions from the storm, the biggest one being flooding that has made roads impassable and left people stranded in their cars. NBC New York has team coverage.
