Snowfall Interruption Of NYC Transit Providers
Snowfall totals in the Northeast are snarling transit. The site for the New York City MTA, which manages transit in and around New York City, has been practically shut down. Transit systems in New Jersey and Long Island are still facing problems. Post resource – MTA in NYC, NJ Transit, and LIRR snowfall disruptions by MoneyBlogNewz.
Alternative with MTA trip planner
The only service mostly running in New York City is the MTA. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority transit planner is hard to access though. Lately this has been the case. The extreme amount of traffic on the MTA NYC website is crashing the servers. There is an option to the MTA transit planner, however. A partnership was made between Metropolitan Transportation Authority and Google a while ago. Now, on Google maps, the transit maps are available. You are able to use the Google Transit MTA Trip Planner if you need to. The route for your MTA trip could be shown to you. You really should call the MTA at (718) 243-7777 to confirm this though thinking about Google Transit Maps are depending on there being no problems.
NJ Transit bringing service on the internet
Bus and light rail is being cleared as fast as possible. This is what the NJ Transit is working on. Trains are running on an enhanced holiday schedule, and there are 15- to 20-minute delays on some rail lines. The New Jersey Transit service is encouraging riders to stay home today, because “getting to the station will be trouble enough.” The New Jersey Transit trip planner could be used although you will find suggestions from officials as to how to get accurate plans. Use Jan 17, 2011 as the “travel date” when doing it.
Check out the Long Island Rail Road
The Long Island RR is facing its own troubles in getting passengers around. There have been 16 inches and more in some places of snowfall. Also, until 6 p.m. Monday, there has been a blizzard warning. The Long Island Rail Road is using scraper shoes, jet-powered snow blowers, hot-air jets, snow brooms and other snow clearing equipment to clear the rail lines. Several trains are getting stuck even though about 10 stations are running. The services for New York City transit are honoring other tickets too. Anything from the Penn, Atlantic Terminal and Jamaica stations will be honored. Are you in the Northeast trying to catch the MTA, LIRR, or NJ transit service today? Having any luck?
