The snowfall might be over, but New York City-area commuters are still dealing with the aftermath of this weekend’s winter storm.
Transit officials said it might be safer not to travel at all on Monday, but for those who must, they suggested allowing for extra travel time, using extra caution and checking services’ apps and websites.
“Avoid unnecessary travel if possible,” the MTA posted on social media. “If you must travel, use extra caution. Be careful when entering or exiting buses and trains, and don’t run on wet or icy surfaces.
Here’s what commuters need to know about every mode of public transportation.
NYC subways
The MTA said the subway will run on a weekday schedule on Monday, but trains may run local along some segments of express lines. On Monday afternoon, many subway lines were running with delays.
NYC buses
Bus riders can expect longer waits for local buses, since articulated buses — the extra-long ones — were removed from service during the storm, according to the MTA.
Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North Railroad
On Monday, the LIRR will run on a weekend schedule while the Metro-North will run on a Saturday schedule, with additional trains during rush-hour.
NJ Transit trains and buses
New Jersey officials said NJ Transit was gradually coming back online after the storm. By mid-afternoon, more than 100 of the 250-plus NJ Transit bus lines were running again.
Gov. Mikie Sherrill and NJ Transit head Kris Kolluri said most of the agency’s train lines would be back online later in the afternoon, with services running on a weekend schedule through Tuesday. The Gladstone Branch, Pascack Valley Line and Princeton Dinky would remain suspended throughout Monday, according to the agency’s service alerts.
All light rail systems had resumed service on Monday. The Access Link paratransit service had also resumed, though officials said there could be delays as its vehicles made their way through the roads.
PATH trains
PATH was operating on a modified Saturday schedule system-wide on Monday, with trains running every 20 minutes between Newark and the World Trade Center, and every 10 minutes between Journal Square and 33rd Street.
