«Breaking News» Exasperated NYC Subway riders get the best excuse for late trains yet: 'Crew restroom breaks'

Delays on the New York City subway system are a common problem, but what is more unusual are the types of excuses that MTA staff are coming out with to explain breaks in service.  

Signal problems, congestion, unauthorized people on the tracks and unruly passengers all cause delays, but passengers on Friday morning were told that their commute would be halted because the crew needed to take a bathroom break. 

'Jamaica-bound J trains are delayed while our train crew takes a restroom break at Crescent St.,' the a New York City Subway Twitter account said at 10:23am.

The MTA tweeted explaining why there were delays on Queens-bound J trains, Friday morning

Twitter followers of the MTA account were quick to make jokes about the sudden delay

Within minutes people were quick to comment with a full range of emotions with user feeling everything from being sad and frustrated to annoyed and amused. 

'Is this real?' wrote one Twitter user.

'Hello boss, I'm late due to the subway operator's explosive diarrhea,' wrote another. 

At least one Twitter urged the MTA  user begged the MTA to err against transparency, at least in this case, saying, 'please just go back to calling it 'Train Traffic.''

One conductor replied to explain how the staff usually try and take breaks at the end of the line

There was not shortage of funny quips and other observations in regards to the strange delay

The MTA then decided to addressed a few of the tweets according to NBC4 by acknowledging the humanity of its employees, urging subway riders to do the same.

'Hello. It is frustrating that this happens. While our crews make every effort to do this at the end of the route where it won't affect service (which is what usually happens), they are humans. Sometimes, waiting is not possible.'

What is unclear is just how often bathroom breaks are the cause of such delays.  

An MTA spokesman confirmed that the original bathroom tweet was part of its effort to increase transparency as it relates to delays. 

MTA explained that it was telling passengers what was happening in order to be transparent 

But not everyone appreciated knowing about the bodily functions of their subway train crew

When it was all over, the MTA tweeted once again that service had resumed but still mentioned how the train crew needed to take a bathroom break while en route

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
