NEW YORK CITY — More than a dozen New York City subway lines have been at least partially suspended Thursday morning, and dozens of others are experiencing delays. In the midst of record-breaking rain courtesy of remnants of Ida, dozens of subway stations were flooded Wednesday night. MTA Acting Chairman and CEO Janno Lieber said service is slowly returning as water is pumped out of stations. "We're bringing the subway system back online," Lieber said on Fox 5 Good Day New York. "There's growing service on the lettered line … the numbered lines are still mostly very, very limited service. But the subway system is coming back. We obviously had to get the water received to pump it out and then deal with the electrical infrastructure. Water and power don't mix." Lieber also urged New Yorkers to limit all non-essential travel as much as possible.
