\n A spate of over 400 smashed subway windows in four months has the MTA on the verge of a glass shortage, transit officials said Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a reserve of glass when this wave started in May. We\u2019ve run through the reserve,\u201d MTA spokesman Tim Minton said of the rash of vandalism.<\/p>\n

Since May 14, transit workers have reported 31 separate instances of broken windows on the 7 train, internal records obtained by The Post show.<\/p>\n

Smashed windows have also turned up on the 2 and 3 trains, MTA safety exec Pat Warren said \u2014 costing the agency more than $300,000 so far.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile there\u2019s vandalism across the system at any given day or time, this recent rash of windows app<\/a>ears to be consolidated in a couple of lines,\u201d Warren told The Post.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the MTA being in the financial condition it\u2019s in, that is not a worthwhile thing for us to be putting money towards.\u201d<\/p>\n

Video posted from last Saturday shows cracked glass on a succession of doors and windows on a 7 train in Queens. The MTA said 39 individual windows were destroyed in the incident.<\/p>\n

The glass-smashing has led to 61 train cancellations and over five hours in cumulative train delays, according to MTA records.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny train that\u2019s broken, it has to be taken out of service,\u201d Warren explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat means that at any given time in the short term, our customers are going to be short a train, which means they\u2019re going to have more crowded conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Officials warned more service impacts could be coming due to delays in acquiring replacement glass.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been resupplying, but the manufacturer has had difficulty keeping up with the extent of the vandalism that we\u2019ve seen,\u201d Minton said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not at a point where there could be a service impact, but that could change.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
