The MTA’s nightly shutdown of No. 6 train service on the Upper East Side falls comes at the height of Passover, infuriating Jews who rely on the subways to get to and from Seders.
“They wouldn’t have done it on Christmas Day,” said Andrea Riesz, 34, a teacher who lives on the Upper East Side. “It is affecting people celebrating Seder, so it angers me.”
The holiday traditionally involves services after sundown that end with a dinner that often finishes late.
The scheduled work began Monday, and will continue into Friday morning.
During those times, all local 6 service from 125th Street to Grand Central is suspended from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. in both directions.
“It would be nice if they were a little bit more sensitive,” said Benny Rogosnitzky, a cantor at Park East Synagogue on 67th Street.
