The Metropolitan Transit Authority has announced that service on New York City subways and buses, Long Island Railroad trains and MetroNorth service will end just after 7PM on Sunday night (bus service will continue until 9PM). The following is from WNYC.org
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has ordered New York City’s transit service to suspend bus, subway, and commuter rail service in advance of the massive storm expected to hit the eastern third of the United States.
Officials said it was unclear when transit would be up and running again after the shut down. Service should be able to return 12 hours after the storm.
When the MTA halted service during Hurricane Irene in August 2011 it was the first such weather-related shutdown in the agency’s history.
