Power outage for the 2nd time in 3 days on the same train lines going to work? @MTA @NYCTSubway 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠

The MTA had a power outage today and a lot of people got delayed, commuting? But Mercury Retrograde/astrology isn’t real right?

Second day of a new #heatwave in NYC, 92F at noon. My clothes hanging on the rack outside dried in 30min. Five subway lines are down due to an MTA power outage. My flatmate turns on the oven to 400F to warm up a savory pastry. I’m waging a small campaign on #systemoverload.

According to @mta documents, looks like cbtc (computer-based train control) that’s shut down service last summer on parts of the G and nights and weekends this summer won’t happen until 2029 (pushed back from 2027) because of contractor delays in retrofitting cars to 5G.

Is anyone else having issues with their Visa cards not working with the OMNY tap on the MTA ????? Bc at this point the MTA is literally just stealing money from me lmaooooo. This is why ppl hop the turnstile.

**** THE MTA ITS BEEN A WHOLE 12 HOURS AND UR STILL NOT WORKING BFFR I NEED TO ******* GET TO WORK DAMMITTTT AAUUUUGGGHHHHH

If it’s 1 thing I miss from NY it’s the MTA (with all their faults) runnin 24/7 because what do you mean DC metro shuts down at 1am on a Saturday night

Hey @mta your #omny system is down, again. I have one day left on my 7 day card purchased last Thursday, and my omny card is being rejected. I've got an eye out for the inevitable class action lawsuit heading your way. Can't wait. #mta #nyc

Mta workers dont even let u get a pass in this hot *** weather and after walking out of a different station from a POWER OUTAGE or whatever delayed the r train

is @OMNY not working at all today. i’m trying to pay and put money on my card unexpected error keeps popping up. yall want me to pay for the mta or not

Can the @MTA @NYCTSubway tell me when the D train (Coney Island bound) will arrive at Atlantic Ave? All your realtime services are down.

X is broken, NYC mta is broken, market is down.... life is good. Luckily i have a beer waiting for me at home.

The L train is down again .. @MTA I both paid my fare AND have to pay for a car to get to work.. when can I expect a refund for services NOT provided? 😒

Is cellular service at 14th (1/2/3) currently down? I’ve been through there a few times today and have had issues on both my phones (ATT and VZW) @NYCTSubway

Plus the escalators on the 7 at Grand Central not working. What is the excuse? @NYCTSubway @PassengersUnite

they need to extend the 6 down to fulton. it’s crazy that it stops one stop short of one of the most important interchanges on the system @chriswaldt @MTA @ZohranKMamdani @andrewcuomo

3rd morning in a row where the MTA transit system is just not working

.@MTA can someone look into the Tolls NY app? It is not working on Apple devices. You can see for yourself from the numerous recent negative reviews in the App Store. Please fix this

Attention please! Especially @MTA and @NYCTBus #CongestionPricing is still on and active in #NYC. We love it. I was talking to an M15 driver who thought it was shut down. Nope! Thanks @MTA @GovKathyHochul for supporting this and us! We need a smiling faces campaign.

As a New Yorker, I'd love to see an audit of the MTA. How can a they continually raise prices, yet the service and safety continues to go down?

Can someone at the @MTA explain to me why the G still has to shut down for days at a time for signal upgrades? I thought that was why it was gone this past summer?

Hey @MTA, is the OMNY site not working? I need to reload to get on the train but the site won’t actually let me sign in and there’s no OMNY machine at the station I’m entering 🫠🫠🫠

I wonder how many drivers this morning ended up paying the congestion toll because they were effectively forced off the FDR due to a major collision. And the MTA is full of s*** that traffic is down in the city in the congestion area.

****** hate when @NYCTSubway just goes down and they don’t update it. Waited 30 mins, walked 15 mins, wasted a swipe, all to have to buy an Uber anyway to get where I need to be because the trains are just “delay” with no updates.

The @NYCTSubway is such a scam… “train traffic” during the middle of the day, major lines go down during rush hour, elevators and escalators go down for months… yet the fare keeps being raised and now congestion pricing for cars. Fix the system.

Are platform time clocks not working @NYCTSubway? … just got on a d/t 1 at Houston that didn’t show up; and the same thing happened earlier going uptown from Wall, said a train was arriving but didn’t

So the @MTA charging us more but there continues to be a power outage during rush hour
