The MTA says zip lines along the tracks in Queens are no cause for concern, but it’s making some Big Apple straphangers uneasy as the railroad halts its capital projects plan.

Queens straphangers are worried after spotting zip ties along the tracks at an Ozone Park subway station.Queens straphangers are praying it’s not plastic zip ties.

“Should I be worried?” asked nursing student Kayle Persaud. “If I cut one zip tie, does it start to fall?”, shows a long line of the plastic ties along the middle track at the elevated subway station – which one straphanger noted is “not a good look.” “The first time I saw it I thought, ‘Hmm… Is it holding the tracks together?'” said subway rider Eliana Rodriguez. “Even the screws look like they’re not all the way in.”“Even if it’s not actually holding the track together, it just looks awful,” he told The Post on Thursday. “They could have cut it off or painted it the same color. I hope it’s not holding the tracks together for all the money we pay to travel on the subway.
