On average, there were more than 41,000 delays every month, up 51 percent compared to last year.
The Daily News reported the MTA may adjust its running times, which haven't changed in 20 years.
Riders blame crowded platforms and construction, WCBS 880's Paul Murnane reported.
"Especially weekends is horrible," a No. 1 train rider said. "During the weekdays, sometimes they just stop running from a certain point to one point because of construction. So there's always something new with the MTA."
