Service on the city’s subway and bus lines has in the most part resumed on Sunday, with some above ground lines still closed after Saturday’s historic snowstorm.

The MTA announced Sunday that service on the subway lines and MTA bus network had resumed, however on a modified Sunday schedule.

Portions of the above ground subway network, which were hit hardest by the snowfall, have been restored.

The restored lines include: the 1 line in Bronx and Manhattan; 2 in the Bronx; 3 in Manhattan and Brooklyn; 4, 5, 6 in the Bronx; 7 in Queens; D, F, G, in Brooklyn; J, M in Brooklyn and Queens; A to Lefferts Boulevard making all local stops; and N to Astoria Ditmars Boulevard.
