Multiple subway lines faced significant delays this morning, disrupting rush hour travel, including the D and F lines that run through Boro Park.

According to MTA service alerts around 9:15 a.m., disruptions were reported on the B, M, F, 7, C, D, N, Q, R, E, 2, 6, J, 4 and 5 trains. While some service changes had been scheduled in advance for signal and track maintenance, many of the delays were unexpected and caused widespread commuting problems.

The MTA reported a mix of issues, including switch and signal malfunctions and trains whose emergency brakes activated during travel. Several trains had to be taken out of service as a result, further cutting service across affected lines.

The 7 train saw severe delays in both directions after a person was struck by a train at the Grand Central–42nd Street station.
