New York City subway: sick passengers?

Question

I have a question about the MTA's policy regarding sick passengers. Why can't the person be moved off the train onto the platform with a station worker and let the train continue on. I was stuck in the subway for half and hour last night. I have sympathy for the sick passenger but one stopped train backs up the entire line and is causing inconvience to thousands of riders. There must be a better policy in dealing with this.

Answer 1

You cant ride the subway if your sick?

How do they expect you to get to the doctors office? WALK???

I have been to NY, and I wouldn't want to walk around for long.

It is to far between destinations.

Sounds like NY needs to improve there public transportation again
