A New York City subway car was filled with people on Tuesday, March 24, despite tighter travel restrictions that went into effect over the weekend. New York Gov Andrew Cuomo ordered all non-essential businesses in the state to close by 8 pm on Sunday. Pharmacies and grocery stores, among other essential businesses, would remain open, he said. This footage, filmed at around 5.35 am on Tuesday, shows a crowd of people on a 4 train headed into Manhattan from the Bronx. Several people in the video are seen wearing masks, including standard medical masks and a respirator-style mask. Damaris Sierra, who filmed the video, expressed concern about the “overcrowded” train and uncertainty about the governor’s restrictions. Sierra told Storyful she manages a restaurant, which officials said can still operate for delivery and takeout. “This is our reality, we’re hopeless,” Sierra said of the commuting. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) said on Monday that coronavirus concerns prompted a change in some train services, including several lines that would not be running. The MTA also said it was reducing the number of train crews who would be working. Credit: @damijose28 via Storyful
