MTA says NYC subway delays were not due to heat wave
The morning rush-hour on Wednesday was dogged by lingering problems on the A, E and F lines. By the afternoon’s rush hour, 18 service lines experienced delays or other disruptions throughout the day, sometimes several times.
Caroline, a 27-year-old New Yorker, told The Post she tried to make what would be normally be a very easy commute from the West Village to the East Village along the L train.But, facing a 17-minute delay, her and her husband opted to call a cab instead of sweating out the wait. She said other straphangers did the same.
“This is not heat-related,” Lieber said during an apologetic Wednesday news conference. “This is because the infrastructure is so damn old.” “This is what takes place when you underinvest in an essential infrastructure system that is 100 years old and getting older all the time,” he said.But he acknowledged that congestion pricing funds would have only fixed some of the MTA’s many failing systems.
