There used to be a separate and independent Transit Police organization, but it was subsumed into the NYPD during the first Giuliani administration (along with the formerly independent Housing Police). In my personal experience, I found that Transit Police were more knowledgeable, helpful and cognizant of the specialized transit environment & operations than personnel of the Transit Bureau of the NYPD now are. I think the hed ought to read “NYPD” not “NYCT Police” . The headline is incorrect – there is no longer any such thing as “NYCT Police” or “Transit Police”.

I think the Post is making too big of a deal about this. This practice seemed to be for a brief period so the closures should not have been that much of an issue. If anything I would have maybe blocked 2 exits at the most. I have to agree with you on this one. I think the Post is making too big of a deal about this.
