Subway disruptions due to cracks found under tracks

you. It was a very hectic and stressful Monday for a lot of commuters. We've been checking in with the M. C. A. Throughout the day just before coming on the air. The M. T. A. Referring our news team to its website. That's where you could see updates. Although there are no active delays right now, there's a banner and there you could see that there are still service disruptions to the A B C and D lines and that's been a problem from 125th to 59th going downtown, but also uptown trains are being affected as well. Let me tell you how this all happened. The M. T. A. Said that planned construction over the weekend between 125th and 59th. It led to the discovery of cracks underneath the track bed at 81st Street and Central Park West. The M. T. A. Right now has been focusing on addressing the cracks, temporary maintenance underway starting yesterday into today. There will be permanent repairs were told at a later date this weekend. There were commuting headaches due to planned work and then this morning downtown local service was suspended. But those express trains were still running between 125th and 59. That was the case also on the weekend. So we did see delays even on the express trains. Basically the A. B. C. And D. Lines had issues this weekend and that continued this morning. All of it again between 125th and Columbus Circle. It was creating the major issues downtown. But now today we saw uptown trains also being affected. There's alternates in place. I'll give you those in just a second. First, I want you to hear from some commuters expressing frustration earlier today. Stop and go stressful. Very stressful. Is it frustrating? Well, yes, but what can we do? What can we do also today? On top of all this problems with refilling Omni cards at stations and online, we talked to people who were impacted by that on this Monday as well. No, I wasn't able to happen this morning. Yeah, I tried to load it with my car. No, it wasn't successful. I tried to debit cards and when I keep saying cancel, I know I got money on the part, but it won't go through on social media. The M. C. A. Saying prefilled Omni cards do work. And of course, you can always tap with your debit or credit card. As you know, Steve. Now, when it comes to those alternates, very important because if you had the headaches coming in going to work, for example, you don't want to deal with that going home, right? So the 1, 2 and three lines is the recommendation from the M. T. A.
