Bad commute this morning? You weren't alone.
A half-dozen train lines were down for the count during the Wednesday morning commute, on the heels of a massive shutdown Tuesday night on the N and R lines due to a broken rail.
The N, Q, R, E, B, D, F, M, 4 and 5 lines ran with delays stemming from a perfect storm of problems, ranging from a stalled train to leftover issues from Tuesday night's broken rail, according to the MTA.
The agency's official Twitter account went into overdrive overnight, issuing a string of mea culpas to increasingly irate riders, but some just weren't having it:
@alliejoy Apologies. There was an earlier incident at 34 St affecting N/Q trains causing congestion and delays getting to Astoria. ^JP
