The Metropolitan Transportation Authority cut off service to 196 aboveground subway stations, about 40 percent of the entire system, a first-time experiment in the agency’s history of contending with extreme winter weather.Shutting down the system voluntarily rather than leaving passengers stranded between stations seems a good idea.

"War Is Merely the Continuation of Policy by Other Means
-
We see, therefore, that war is not merely an act of policy but a true
political instrument, a continuation of political intercourse carried on
with other means. What remains peculiar to war is simply the peculiar nature of its means.
- Chapter 1, Section 24, in the Princeton University Press translation (1976)
- Variant translation: War is merely the continuation of politics by other means."
