A computer glitch brought seven subway lines to a halt for more than 90
minutes on Friday evening, stranding rush hour commuters in stuck trains
and on sweltering platforms as temperatures in the city climbed to 92
degrees.
Transit officials on Twitter attributed the suspension of service on the
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 lines and the Times Square-42nd Street shuttles to a
“network communications issue” — the same alleged culprit in a similar
episode that occurred only 13 days ago on July 6.
The computers that power the subway’s signaling system went on the
blink, subways boss Andy Byford said, promising an investigation into
what went wrong.
“I absolutely want to get to the bottom of this,” he said.
“I totally understand their frustration,” he said of commuters.
