take on the Harlem lights

For a mayor who prides himself on efficiency and a city who trumpets energy saving all over the MTA billboards, we found it more than a bit ironic when we drove past the raised subway station at 125th and Broadway on Sunday night when all mass transit had been halted for at least 30 hours and saw the platform lit up like the tree at Rockefeller Center.   Obviously the city had announced days earlier that all mass transit would be stopped on Saturday at noon and even Sunday evening it was clear that it would not be running again till sometime Monday but still the subway station looked like it was fully operational.  So there is no train service and the city has spent millions on Hurricane preparedness, the MTA cries every year about not having enough money, there are thousands without power in Queens and Staten Island yet nobody could be bothered to turn off the light switch?
