Green (escalators) means stop

Last week, when the MTA announced its plans for green escalators, I responded with some skepticism. The MTA has, after all, run into numerous troubles with their escalators, and I wasn’t sure if they could maintain its rather complicated new machinery. Well, it seems as though my initial thoughts were right. As City Room reported, the green escalators’ first day was not a smooth one. While I’m sure the MTA will iron out their problems, the public, as Sewell Chan noted, is bound to remain skeptical anyway.
