A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/3sqtgsy . .New York Citys public transportation system remained paralyzed on Sunday afternoon even after Hurricane Irene moved away from the city, and the authorities expected a lengthy recovery that would most likely leave many commuters stranded on Monday morning.
.Transit workers were still waiting for winds to die down before they could inspect the entire system. But an initial survey revealed flooded subway tracks, powerless commuter rail networks and fallen trees and branches that had rendered some rail routes impassable.
.The New Haven line of the Metro-North Railroad had no power because of downed wires along its route. Parts of the Metro-North track along the surging Hudson River were flooded. Subway lines in parts of Brooklyn were also inundated. Bus service remained suspended.
.The regions major airports remained closed, and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said it had no timeline for when they would be reopened. Some airlines said that to make sure passengers did not end up stranded, they were waiting for the citys buses and trains to start running again before resuming flights. A spokesman for JetBlue said the airline hoped to resume flights after 3 p.m. on Monday, depending on flooding conditions at Kennedy and La Guardia Airports.
