The New York City Subway Is Hell
The New York City subway is bad. We all know this. But this is how bad it got today:
Northbound B and D trains are running with delays because of an investigation on the Manhattan Bridge.

Service changes update: Some northbound Q trains are stopping along the R line from DeKalb Av to Canal St.
Expect delays in both directions on the D, F, Q and R trains.— NYCT Subway (@NYCTSubway) January 9, 2018
Service changes update: For service between Brighton Beach and Coney Island customers can use Q train service. For service between 36 St (Bklyn) and DeKalb Av, customers can use the N train. To continue to Manhattan, transfer to a Manhattan-bound N, Q or R train at Atlantic Av.

Service change update: D train service has resumed in both directions. After an investigation, these service changes are due to a rail condition.
Our crews are on site working to fix the rail condition so that we can bring back regular soon.— NYCT Subway (@NYCTSubway) January 9, 2018
Service changes update as of 10:00 am: B train service remains suspended between Brighton Beach and 145 St in both directions. Expect delays on D and Q trains in both directions.

This does not include myriad problems that occurred this morning with "sick passengers," "police investigations," "FDNY activity," and "customer injury," some of which may just be suicides.
And, naturally, people are already extremely mad:

Please suggest places for me to move to in the comments that are not in New York City. Really, any place. I can work from home. I'm doing it right now.
Because the subway is broken.
