Subway service has been restored to Manhattan as of 10 a.m. Saturday morning, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced.

The 4, 5 and 7 trains to Manhattan are fully operational and the F, J, D and M will be fully functional by later Saturday, he said in news conference.

The 6 from Brooklyn Bridge to Pelham Pay Park is also operational.

The L tunnel under the East River is still "wall-to-wall" with water, according to MTA chairman Joseph Lhota. The G line has also experienced flooding, Lhota said. G service remains suspended indefinitely.

The free fare period instituted after the storm has ended. The "bus bridge" at Barclays Center and Hewes Street station is still free.

"The Staten Island Railway will resume service hourly today, move to half hourly service later today, and will be fully restored in time for the Monday morning rush, he added.

Earlier Saturday, the Governor announced that Metro-North service on the Hudson Line had been restored.
