Subway and buses (and legs): yes; Planes, trains, and automobiles: no
Significant transit disruptions remain throughout the region. While subway and bus service has continued in the city with some modifications, the LIRR has been suspended since 1 a.m. Across the morning hours, Amtrak has issued a slew of train cancellations throughout the so-called “Acela Corridor.”
All flights are currently grounded at JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark. Roughly 3,000 flights have been cancelled thus far.
The city is still under a travel ban with roads closed to non-essential vehicles until at least noon with 2,300 plows at work clearing local roadways, per Mayor Mamdani.
