A federal judge on Tuesday temporarily barred the Trump administration from cutting funding from the MTA and New York state over their repeated refusals to shut down congestion pricing. The ruling from the U.S. District Court Judge Lewis Liman in Manhattan federal court came one day before Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy had warned that the federal government could begin implementing “compliance actions” to delay approvals or withhold funding on key projects in New York state.

Subway and bus riders are fuming over OMNY glitches that billed them late, kept them from tapping through turnstiles — and has them enduring lengthy waits for customer service on the MTA’s new fare-payment system. Commuters have been caught off-guard in recent weeks by bugs that, in some cases, have charges showing up days late on bank statements and, in some cases, creating trouble while tapping.

The MTA is taking a step toward expanding its fleet of open gangway subway cars — and potentially bringing the new-look rides to the numbered lines. With funding for the 2025-2029 $68.4 billion capital improvement plan now secured in the state budget, the transit agency last week issued a request for information from companies that have experience designing and manufacturing cars linked by walk-through passageways.

MetroCard sales end Dec. 31, but a third of all riders have not yet converted to OMNY, according to the MTA. “It’s not that we can’t accept change,” one holdout said. “It’s just that we don’t want to make the change — like me.” NEW in @THECITYNY https://t.co/A6n6JoTc2b
