NEW YORK CITY — Bleary-eyed straphangers saw Monday morning rush hour delays on 10 subway lines, MTA officials said.

The main delay hit four lines — the E, F, M and R — after a train's brakes activated near Forest Hills-71st Avenue, the MTA posted at 7:44 a.m.

And even after that delay was resolved, northbound E trains — along with C trains — ran with delays after a door problem at 14th Street, according to an 8:44 a.m. MTA post.
