Funny how nobody seems to use this argument every time there's a problem with the NYC subway.
Because there's alternatives. You don't have to use the subway if it breaks down, and people have enough brains to take a taxi or walk instead.
This is 60 people going, "Fuck, the subway is down. Guess I can't travel anywhere, now."
Which problems are you referring to? None of the physical issues, nor the human behaviour issues are relevant here.
Based on a quick web search, staff can only remove people temporarily for rule violations; it takes a court order to get a long-term ban from the NYC subway.
