Overview

• The MTA confirmed a loss of power to its signaling system at the West 4th Street–Washington Square station early Tuesday.
• B and C services were suspended in both directions while A, D and M trains faced partial suspensions and F trains were rerouted.
• E and G lines experienced severe delays as commuters navigated service changes during the morning rush.
• Temperatures in the upper 90s compounded rider discomfort and hampered recovery efforts during the heat wave.
• This outage follows a pattern of utility failures that have prompted calls for multi-billion-dollar investments to modernize the subway’s aging infrastructure.
