Subway service in New York City faced major disruptions again on Thursday as multiple lines experienced delays or suspensions due to a power-related issue near the West Fourth Street–Washington Square station. The incident mirrors a similar outage earlier this week that also snarled commutes. Commuters should expect delays and service changes in both directions on the B, D, F, and M trains between Brooklyn and Manhattan due to ongoing power-related issues.
In addition to the B, D, F, and M trains, N and Q trains are facing delays due to a medical emergency. PATH trains are also experiencing delays in both directions between Hoboken and the World Trade Center and between Hoboken and 33rd Street, also due to a medical emergency, as reported by Fox5.

Power outage earlier this week
On Tuesday, several lines, including A, B, D, F, M, Q, and 6, were also delayed due to the morning rush. It was caused by of power outage near West 4th Street that occurred just before 8:30 am. While the crew was able to resolve the issue eventually after fixing a tripped breaker, the delay lasted for hours.
Thus, following today’s power outage, commuters are advised to look for alternative routes and expect residual delays until the services are completely restored.
