Homeless Stranded by Subway Shutdown End up on Streets and Buses

More than 90% of the estimated 2,000 homeless New Yorkers who have been sleeping on trains and in stations during the pandemic ended up on streets and buses after the first overnight subway shutdown.

Just 139 people migrated to city shelters, NYPD officials said, while the rest rode out the 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. closure elsewhere, waiting for the system to reopen after a disinfecting and cleaning.
