The Airtrain to Kennedy Airport was shut down for several hours last night and 150 people had to be rescued from one train, authorities said.
The train got stuck between Jamaica Station and the airport at around 8:35 p.m., a Port Authority spokesman said.
Nineteen shuttle buses were called to shepherd the passengers along the route, the spokesman said.
A computer malfunction caused the glitch, according to WABC/Channel 7.
“I was a bit confused, this is my first time in America,” said Nadja Schaetz, 20, who had just arrived from Berlin.
