Subways ‘flooded’ with big rush-hour delays

Flooding at a West Village subway station caused a commuter nightmare Monday morning, as eight lines suffered massive delays in the ripple effect.

A “water condition” at the West 4th Street subway station crippled service on the A, B, C, D, E, F, M and R lines during the height of rush hour, MTA officials said.

The problem was caused when drains froze inside the busy station as snow from the weekend storm melted off, leading to flooding on the tracks.

The MTA cut power to the tracks at around 7 a.m. Power was restored at 9:30 a.m., but the delays continued into the afternoon.

“I am fed up with the MTA,” fumed Sara Grossman, 30, who was late for an 11 a.m. meeting, before finally catching the F train at West 23rd Street and heading to Broadway-Lafayette.

Randy Desmond, 26, of Hell’s Kitchen said, “I’m sick of this BS. The subway system sucks in New York.

“Who cares about the Second Avenue Subway line when I am late to work everyday! I’m considering moving to Philadelphia.”

Nick Sifuentes, a spokesman for the advocacy group Riders Alliance, said the system is in desperate need of major upgrades.

“When it’s cold out, the trains break down, and when it gets hot out, the air conditioning is going out on trains all the time. No matter what the weather is, it causes problems for riders,” Sifuentes said.
