How many #PSEG #ConED and #LIPA crews does it take to turn on the lights?

A: No one knows, because it’s been 11 days and more than 1.2 million people still have no power in the NYC metro.

That compares with the #MTA, whose ability to restore service to the subway system borders on magic. Fact is that this particular public authority and its union workers got the job done, while other public authorities like NJTransit and the Port Authority did not. Those failures are epic, especially in light of how quickly the MTA restored its service.
