MTA saw record-high ridership over Halloween, marathon weekend in NYC — but straphangers have complaints

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. Zuma / SplashNews.com Even before the Big Apple’s mammoth weekend, the subway carried a whopping 4.72 million passengers on a record-shattering Thursday, marking the highest single-day ridership since the pandemic with a 9.7% increase in ridership compared to the same day last year. “From the streets to the subways, New Yorkers were on the move this weekend in record numbers,” Hochul said in a press release. MTA bus-fare retreat could doom all NYC public transit “The subway is the lifeblood of our city and from Halloween to the marathon, the major events that make New York special simply

Hochul’s campaign, website omits very key detail — and critics say it’s no accident

Four more years — of something something. Democratic incumbent Kathy Hochul has conspicuously avoided outlining a detailed agenda for what she wants to accomplish over the next four years if she’s reelected. Her campaign website lists her “accomplishments” or record during her first full four-year term, but it lists no policy agenda or vision for the next four. There are no specific policy proposals regarding taxes and spending, economic development, public safety, education or welfare programs. Incumbent Kathy Hochul is dodging questions on taxes as she runs for re-election without a detailed second-term policy agenda. Now, she’s even dodging questions on whether or not she supports tax hikes as she tries to walk a tightrope, trying to appeal to moderates while holding out the fiery liberal wing of the party. Democratic socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani remains popular, backed by a group of largely younger voters who lean left and are energized around an anti-capitalist message of taxing the rich. Hochul has allied with Mamdani, trying to harness the enthusiasm of his supporters despite signs they haven’t eased up on their tax crusade even after the governor handed Hizzoner a new pied-a-terre tax on luxury second homes in the five boroughs.

Here are 8 NYS lawmaker races to watch

Empire State voters heading to the polls on Tuesday will get the chance to pick their representatives in the New York State Legislature for the next two-year term — with several races to watch in the city and beyond. Every seat in the state Senate and Assembly are up for grabs this year, but in firmly blue New York State there’s no danger for the Democratic Party that either chamber of the legislature will fall out of its control. Still, there are races of interest across the state as voters cast ballots in all 63 Senate districts and 150 Assembly districts, including in southern Brooklyn which has trended red in a sea of blue in recent years. New Yorkers are voting on every seat in the state’s Senate and Assembly today. Albany Times Union via Getty Images Here are eight races to watch: Senate District 17 Brooklyn (Dyker Heights, Bensonhurst and Bath Beach) Republican incumbent Steve Chan, a retired cop, is facing off against Democrat Larry He in the heavily Asian district that has trended red in 2022 and 2024 with Republicans Lee Zeldin and President Trump easily carrying the district in the race for governor and the White House,
