The MTA will resume service on above-ground subways and Metro-North railroad as early as 6 p.m., according to media reports.

“We want people to be able to get home,” a source told The Post, adding that at least partial service would be restored Tuesday evening.

Commuters slammed the railroad on Tuesday for abruptly cancelling all service after noon — even though the blizzard had fizzled and morning trains had already carried them into the city, leaving many stranded in the Big Apple.
