The Metro Transit Authority official Twitter account has announced that New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has waived fares for subways, buses, LIRR and Metro-North rail ridership until Friday.

Cuomo has declared the current situation a "transportation state of emergency" according to the MTA.

Cuomo ordered a suspension of New York City's subway and bus service at 7:00 p.m. Sunday in advance of Hurricane Sandy.

Bus service has since been restored, and subway service is planned to resume limited operation beginning Thursday.

Attached is a map of the restored subway service to begin at 6:00 a.m. on Thursday.
