The city’s train system collapses, Governor Hochul “does not guarantee” its full restoration by Thursday morning

“This flash flood emergency is destroying infrastructure throughout the region. Subways are no exception,” said Acting MTA President Janno Lieber.

“There are several areas where the water level has risen. It has made it impossible for the trains to move and the system is providing a very, very limited service. Therefore, we urge everyone not to use it,” he added.

All train service in New York City is currently suspended, the MTA said in a tweet.

Lieber said it is too early to estimate whether the service will be able to return in full on Thursday morning, but Gov. Kathy Hochul was more forceful on the matter.

The president pointed out that “she cannot guarantee” that the system will return to normal operation by Thursday morning, and warned about the possibility of significant delays.
