On my regular trip from 34 St-Herald Square to Prince St today, there was an usually huge crowd of people. I got there just as an R train was leaving and there was still a mob scene of people waiting for the next train. I get email alerts for the N and R and didn't receive any notifications. Anyone know if something was going on today?

I believe someone got sick and everyone was had been made to wait, commuters on the orange line were complaining this morning.

This goes to everyone, please stay home if you are sick. Call out from work, nobody likes that you are sharing germs nor do they want to have a train delay if you faint.

I know some people that had to take the 7 instead of the N/Q because it stalled...

I'll say this as a tower operator with MTA: I do not understand why so many people ignore the simple instruction that MTA puts on posters. If you feel sick, don't get on the train! (I also don't understand why a person whose sudden illness is not an emergency--an epileptic fit or a stroke, for instance--can't just leave the train and wait on the platform for aid. Why they're allowed to sit there on the train and jam up the largest subway system in the world completely mystifies me).

Incidentally, just for the record, here in New York we don't refer to lines by colors. There's no such thing as an "Orange Line." It's the 6 Avenue line, consisting of the B,D,F and now M trains.

Haha, never heard anyone else call it the orange line either

I love it: somebody vomits on a train and New York City screetches to a halt!
If Al Quaida had known this they could have accomplished the same thing with a couple bottles of Ipecac.
