Last night, when Gothamist tried to enter the subway at West 72nd Street, a bored token booth clerk and another rather pissy MTA employee standing in front of the turnstiles told everyone that there was no 1, 2 or 3 service. No explanations, just "Don't swipe here." People were, as they tend to, freaking out. We tried to find out if other trains were still working, only to get a, "I guess so," from the pissy employee. Reader Ryan emailed us this picture of dazed people piling onto an uptown M104 bus at Columbus Circle and explained that there was some sort of power outage between 59th and 96th Street. Now it's time to play "Who Can We Be Mad At?" The MTA or Con Ed.
