As trains return to their scheduled schedule, consider these travel alternatives, the MTA added:
For service between Queens and Manhattan, use the E, F, or R trains at 74 St-Broadway or the N, W trains at Queensboro Plaza.
There is also no service on the 7 line to Flushing on 82 Street, 90 Street, 103 Street or 111 Street.
For service between 74th and 33rd Streets, the MTA recommends that travelers use the Q32 bus.
The LIRR will honor subway riders between Flushing and Grand Central/Penn Station, according to the MTA.
