The MTA failed to pass the much-debated subway photo ban. Gothamist points to an article in Newsday detailing the reasons why the MTA failed to get all its ducks in a row: "Officials said the hold-up is the result of an outpouring of criticism about the move, which would offer exemptions to working photojournalists but give police wide latitude in limiting even the most innocent souvenir-taker from clicking away."

NYC photobloggers will be granted a reprieve until May, when the MTA is set to conduct a full board meeting.
