Subway worker shortage threatens NYC’s push to bring workers back to offices

An MTA worker shortage could derail New York’s push to lure workers back to Manhattan offices — with mass subway cancelations and overcrowded cars.

As around-the-clock services resume and workers return to their commutes, the Big Apple’s public transportation agency is struggling to man the trains, internal records obtained by The Post show. Last Wednesday marked a pandemic high of over 2.5 million trips, according to official MTA stats — but transit dispatchers had to cancel a whopping 114 scheduled trips because they could not find anyone to drive.
