The transit agency responded with a reference number and a promise to notify supervision. But on July 18, the same car was reported to the MTA. And again on July 28. Then on August 4. All told, 12 people tweeted at @NYCTSubway or @MTA, notifying the agency that car 1662’s air conditioning was broken.
Despite MTA’s assertions that the agency swiftly repairs hot subway cars once it learns of them, #1662 didn’t get a permanent a/c fix until Tuesday, August 16.
