2007_07_mtaalerts.JPGWhen we checked the MTA's Service Alerts for NYC Transit early this morning, there was only a note was flooding causing issues with F service between Jamaica-179th Street Station and the Forest Hills-71st Avenue Station. Now there's a laundry list of subway issues:

Due to a water condition at the Parsons Boulevard Station, there is no F train service between the Jamaica-179th Street Station and the Forest Hills-71st Avenue Station.

Also, due to a water condition at the 65th Street Station:

In addition, due to a water condition at the Kingsbridge Road Station, 205th Street-bound D trains are running express between the Tremont Avenue Station and the Bedford Park Boulevard Station.

Please expect delays in service on the D, E, F and R trains at this time.

Also expect delays on the B - one B express ended up waiting in the station for 5 minutes for a B express-turned-local to arrive, to collect confused, annoyed passengers. There are also service alerts for LIRR, Metro-North, and LI Bus.

There have been delays on bridges, tunnels and highways, due to the weather and flooding. Naturally, there are tons of delays at the airports - Newsday reports that the FAA has put the "Traffic Management Program" into effect at JFK and LaGuardia. To discuss: Doesn't "Traffic Management Program" sounds like something that should be in effect every day?

Shocker: Power outages reported in NYC, mostly Queens. (Remember, Con Ed blamed lightning for some recent power outages.)
