The Metropolitan Transportation Authority saw a record-breaking surge of riders over Halloween and New York City Marathon weekend — but many fed-up straphangers complained of dangerously crowded platforms and lengthy delays. Some 3.14 million riders took the subway Sunday, marking an all-time ridership high for the first day of the week and shattering last year’s record by 11%, Governor Kathy Hochul and the MTA announced Monday. Similarly, the day before, on Halloween, straphangers smashed the previous post-pandemic Saturday record with 3.59 million riders, marking the most on a single Saturday since 2016. Roughly 3.59 million straphangers rode the subway on Halloween Saturday.

It has raised money, yielding the MTA about $750 million this year, almost covering the lost revenue from bus and subway fare evasion. So if picking the pockets of working people is a win, then it’s going gangbusters. Dem pol blames congestion pricing for breakup after beau couldn’t afford toll — as she rips Hochul-backed tax But the warm-and-fuzzy crowd feels like the tolls are a win for the environment and so on, and feelings are what matter, right? Hence, too, the push to redesign the city to make driving a car as expensive and inconvenient as possible. Hochul just confessed: She’ll give Mamdani his tax hikes next year Bicycles account for about 1% of all commuting, but romantics feel they’ll become New Yorkers’ most popular option if we’re relentless enough in expanding mostly-empty bike lanes — and
