Metro-North Railroad is also getting back on track after the storm.
The MTA says train service has been restored to all stations on the Upper Hudson and Upper Harlem lines. Some trains will operate on modified schedules.
Gov. Kathy Hochul praised crews for being able to restore service in a short amount of time.
"This could have been such a longer process. No one could have foreseen that it would be open on the Wednesday after this horrific storm," she said Wednesday.
"The MTA team, this time, worked even faster than under Hurricane Ida. What took us a week, we did in two days," MTA Chair Janno Lieber added.
The governor also reminded people it's now easier than ever to get real-time information about service disruptions. A new text alert system will send live updates about subway, bus and commuter rail delays and cancelations to your phone.
