The New York City public transit system is responding to the bombings in Boston with stepped up police presence and bag inspections.
“The MTAPD is increasing patrols coverage and bag inspections. All security personnel will remind all employees to be vigilant,” MTA spokesman Charles Seaton told TPM. “The increased coverage will continue until we fully understand the cause of the explosions in Boston. NYPD is also on alert and indicated they will give additional attention to the subway system.”
Seaton did not address whether any closures or service changes were planned.
