The transit situation on Thursday in the New York City region remained paralyzed after record-breaking rains, with service on most of the city’s subway lines disrupted or delayed, commuter rail lines running few trains, and Amtrak canceling service on a major corridor. Subway and train service was slowly resuming, and New York City lifted a travel ban at 5 a.m., but warned residents to remain at home and avoid all unnecessary travel. Amtrak suspended all morning service between Philadelphia and Boston, a major business corridor. More than a dozen New York City subway lines were at least partially suspended on Thursday morning, with several others experiencing delays, according to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s website. All New Jersey Transit rail service lines were suspended except for the Atlantic City line; commuter buses continued to operate with delays, the service said.
