Weiner, Liu Call For Subway Cellphone Service
Congressmember Anthony Weiner (D-Queens), joined by City Councilmember John Liu (D-Flushing), continued his four-year effort of calling on the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) to install emergency cellphone service on the subway system's underground platforms. Weiner said it's time for the MTA to end the delays, and pointed to the debilitating storm of August 8 as the latest reason to do what other transit systems have- use cell service to improve communications in the event of a terrorist attack, health emergency or act of God.
