Storm Transportation Update: Trains Still Suspended Sunday Morning

Metro-North reports that service remains suspended on Metro-North Railroad, the Long Island Rail Road, and the above ground portions of the NYC Subway and Staten Island Railway.

Crews have been out across the system overnight working to assess conditions and clear signals, switches and rails of snow. Snow fighting equipment has been deployed across the MTA rail and subway network to perform heavy duty removal. That work continues this morning. Service will be restored as conditions warrant throughout the day.

ROADS

From Westchester County:

Due to deteriorating weather conditions, the Bee-Line Bus System will suspend service on all its routes at 11 a.m. today (Saturday) until further notice.

Buses currently on the roads will finish all of their routes and then return to their garages.

“It’s always safety first and the weather conditions have just made it impossible to keep our buses on the roads,” said County Executive Robert P. Astorino. “We will monitor the situation throughout the storm, but the busses will remain off the roads until conditions allow for their safe return.”

With the exception of emergency vehicles, all motorists are urged to stay off the roads.

Transport of Rockland (TOR) & TAPPANZEExpress (TZx) buses is suspending service as of 10:00 a.m. until further notice due to winter weather and poor road condition.

TRIPS Paratransit service has been cancelled for today.
