Gov. Kathy Hochul ordered the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to hire two outside engineering firms to investigate Sunday night’s subway meltdown, after a power surge disrupted service and forced the evacuation of hundreds from stalled trains.

She’s also trying to solve the problem of an eviction moratorium that expires Tuesday, imperiling thousands of tenants, CBS2’s Marcia Kramer reported Monday.

It was the morning after a massive subway meltdown — 7:15 a.m. — and if New Yorkers wanted to know where their governor was, the answer was simple. She arrived at the Bowling Green subway station to take ownership of the problem and its fix.
