Snapping...

The New York City Subway, scoliotic backbone of the country’s most powerful urban economy, is snapping. On-time performance has dropped from 85 percent in 2011 to 63 percent today.

Gov. Cuomo declared the Metropolitan Transportation Authority was in a "state of emergency,"  The declaration comes after a  power issue left hundreds of LIRR commuters stranded outside Penn Station for two hours.

There was an average of 5.7 million daily riders last year - with 49 days that saw the number of daily passengers crack six million. Annual ridership, meanwhile reached 1.7 billion  another high point since 1948.

New Yorkers spend more time in the subway system going to work and home.
The politicians are nowhere to be found. Talk talk talk.
