Subway, commuter rails see overcrowding amid congestion pricing as riders are 'smashed up against one another': straphangers

"I know they're trying to get less congestion, but then you have to add more train lines to accommodate us riders," the 33-year-old said.

City Councilman Robert Holden (D-Queens) tore into the transit agency for failing to prepare. "Just like gyms in January, public transit is seeing an initial surge, but the MTA wasn't ready for it," he said.
