For alternate service, take your broomstick.
Riders on the 7 train had a supernatural commute Monday morning, after service was snared by witches — at least according to a typo on the MTA's website and Twitter account.

As of 6:48 a.m., Manhattan-bound 7 trains were running local between 74th Street and Queensboro Plaza due to "witch problems," at the 33rd Street station in Queens, according to the MTA.
The typo on the MTA's website was corrected to "switch problems" shortly after, but not before straphangers took screenshots of it and had some fun with the gaffe.
I got 99 problems, but a witch ain’t one.

Which is more than can be said for the @mta, apparently.
