NYC subway delays rising, equipment failing as Gov. Hochul nixes congestion pricing
Delays are on the rise in New York City’s subway system — and aging infrastructure that was set to be upgraded with money from MTA’s stalled congestion pricing program is to blame.
The F and the N lines saw the most delays caused by signal problems. MTA officials earlier this year halted a contract to modernize the signaling system on the F line along Sixth Avenue in Manhattan, saying they needed congestion pricing money to pay for the work. Transit officials have also pitched upgrades to the signals along the N line in Astoria, but haven’t passed a funding plan to cover the work.
“I'm always late for everything. And I get anxiety just waiting,” Rosemarie Delgado, 42, from the Bronx said, on an F train platform at Jay Street in Brooklyn. Delgado commutes to the borough from the Bronx for appointments.
