Switch problems briefly shut down service on the No. 5 subway line in Bronx on Wednesday, according to the MTA.

The morning commute was not much better for NJ Transit riders. The agency said around 8:20 a.m. that train service in and out of New York’s Penn Station was experiencing delays of up to 20 minutes because of a disabled Amtrak train east of the transit hub.
The Long Island Rail Road also reported some delays.
