New York City\u2019s subways resumed 24\/7 service Sunday, more than a year after Gov. Andrew Cuomo instituted nightly shutdowns to facilitate COVID-19 cleaning.<\/p>\n

The nightly shutdowns initially ran from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m., before being shaved down to 2 a.m. to 4 a.m. in February. The closures attracted the ire of transit advocates, who accused the MTA of leaving thousands of New Yorkers without a way home.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be no more closure going forward, and the city that never sleeps is again going to have 24\/7 subway service,\u201d MTA Chairman Pat Foye said during an app<\/a>earance Sunday at 59th Street-Columbus Circle station. \u201cThis is a special moment for the city.\u201d<\/p>\n

Foye said the MTA will continue its pandemic policy of requiring riders exit trains at terminals in order to allow for deep-cleaning and disinfecting. <\/p>\n
