F and G trains have ground to a near halt the MTA said Friday evening, resulting in delays throughout the transit system.
Signal issues were once again the culprit according to city and state officials, this time during the Friday night rush. Passengers were spilling out onto the streets at stations along the two lines in Brooklyn.
At 7:30 p.m. the MTA reported there was no F service between Brooklyn and Manhattan and no G service between Church Avenue and Bedford-Nostrand Avenues.
The stoppage followed delays on the 4 and 5 trains earlier in the day after officials said a passenger was struck.
The subway delays also came as the Federal Aviation Administration grounded all flights across the nation amid a communications meltdown at the federal level.
