MTA Suspends Service on Multiple Subway Lines After Vandals Smash Train Windows

  • Vandals smashed windows on dozens of subway trains in New York City early Tuesday morning.
  • The vandalism affected 36 trains across 5 subway lines, forcing the MTA to suspend service on the W line and implement limited schedules on the B, D, N, Q, and R lines.
  • The MTA estimates that repairs could cost up to $500,000 due to the older age of the affected trains.
  • Windows from out-of-service cars are being used to replace the vandalized windows.
  • Service disruptions continued during morning rush hour commutes on Tuesday.
