Since Hurricane Sandy all means of transportation have been down. As of today almost all major lines are back up in NYC. Workers were doing everything to make sure that the subway lines were clean and ready to move. “Trains started picking up passengers again Saturday morning along the entire 4,5,6 and 7 lines, officials said. Full service will return later Saturday to the D, F, J and M lines” Some of the subways were flooded and had to be completely drained before letting anyone inside.
The A train will run from 168 St. to Lefferts Blvd. beginning Monday but service to the Rockaways will not return for at least a month because the train bridge over Jamaica Bay was severely damaged.
The subway system had been running largely as a series of shuttles because all seven East River tunnels were flooded and lower Manhattan was without power. With several tunnels pumped dry and power restored by Con Edison, trains can now run between Brooklyn and lower Manhattan through some of the tubes, and over the Manhattan and Williamsburg bridges.
