The main problem is there are just too many homeless people in this city, period. And the ones who cause the most trouble are the ones with severe mental illness who should be institutionalized. They'll close the subways to them and they'll just find another spot to congregate overnight and it will be a problemball over again in the morning. This is a poor band-aid solution.
Yup!!! They going be popping up in neighborhoods

This is laughable

You're literally disregarding the people who work overnight or 2nd shift

They're providing buses. They can do the same during these hours. Not too many people riding the train at 3 AM anyway. The trains should be regularly cleaned and homeless should not be able to make it their homes. My father who is an essential worker that works overnight has said they're rolling homeless shelters. They've always been this way, but the problem has been exacerbated in the past month and a half.

While that may be true, taking the nyc trains afterhours particularly on summer weekends is an adventure of its own.
Some crazy memories.

While we're on the subject, I gotta share this story from one late summer night a few years back.

I was on the L train platform waiting to go from 1st Ave in the City into Brooklyn where I was living at the time. It was maybe 1:30 a.m, not even that late. The electronic display kept showing outrageous times for the next train to arrive. Something like 45 mins, and then when it got closer to zero it would boost up back another 15 mins. Classic NYC trains at night bullshyt with some extra exaggeration , yet I decided to just wait it out while my boys took a cab into Brooklyn.

As it was the weekend, there were a lot of people still waiting for the Brooklyn bound train despite the late hours. After more than an hour and change, a train pulled in on the platform where trains entering Manhattan arrive, and the announcer stated that due to some issues, that train was now being rerouted back into Brooklyn.

For those of you who don't know, this particular subway station is the type where there is no underground tunnel to connect opposing directions of the same train line. You have to make sure you're swiping in to the correct destination bound platform or else you gotta walk out and cross the street, wasting a swipe.

Anyway, after hearing that announcement, everybody on the entire platform I was on bull rushed outside that side of the platform, up the stairs, onto the streets and ran across 1st avenue. Everyone jumped the turnstiles / ran through the emergency door, on some old school NYC shyt in order to catch that train.

That was easily one of my most memorable experiences on the subway ever. Kinda made the obnoxious wait time worth it.

Pardon me if posted already this is probably the first thing I agree with the MTA in a long time, Taking the train at night it’s basically a traveling homeless shelter . They should’ve done this sooner to try to contain this virus

Good during this pandemic. But there's a lot of people that depend on those late night trains. I used to take the train at 1am when I got off work. I can't imagine taking a bus from Manhattan to queens.

I think there's more homeless people during the morning rush than late at night. The e train in queens during the morning, sometimes you have homeless people in every car at opposite ends. When I used to take the train late night, there isn't as many.
