Earlier this morning, the MTA said that things with NYC Transit's subways and buses were "near normal" but to check its website. One reader told us, "I checked the MTA's web site before heading out the door and saw that the F train was listed as having 'Good Service.' Then I arrived at the 7th Avenue station in Brooklyn to find it packed with people. An F train pulled in but many people including myself could not squeeze into it. Then there was a (rare) announcment informing the crowd that there are 'extensive delays on the F line due to the weather.'"
He added, "I wound up taking the G train to Court Square and changing for the M into Manhattan. I got into the office and looked at the TA web site again -- 'Good Service' on the F line." Other people complained about issues on the F, but the MTA wants you to know you can get a delay verification if you need one for work... just be patient.
