When subways closed for four hours early Wednesday, some late-night commuters were stuck far from work or home — and grumbled that while the city and MTA took care of the homeless, they didn’t do enough for regular straphangers.

“I’ve been waiting out here well over an hour,” said Anthony Boyd, a clothing designer from Harlem who found himself hoping for a bus ride home after he was booted from an upper Manhattan ‘A’ train stop just after 12:30 a.m.

“They have shuttles for the homeless,” said Boyd. “Where are the buses for the rest of us? What do (Mayor) de Blasio, (Gov.) Cuomo and the other politicians say about that?“

Manhattan resident Alan, 59, who asked that his last name not be used, swiped through the turnstiles at Flatbush Ave. in Brooklyn around 12:45 a.m. — and police ordered him to turn around.

“What kind of crap is going on here in New York?” he asked. “I want to go home. I’m going to get robbed in Brooklyn. A bunch of knuckleheads live out here. And now these cops are kicking me out — they’re not going to help me.”

He tried to catch a B103 bus to start his long trek, but it was too crowded, so he stood waiting on the sidewalk for the next one.

New York City Transit Authority interim president Sarah Feinberg said she had few reports of overcrowded buses during the subway shutdown.

Instead of replacing subway service with shuttles that run between stations — the MTA’s usual practice when a stretch of subway track is shut down for night or weekend repair work — the agency decided to enhance regular bus service.

Service was beefed up on 61 lines — including 24 lines that do not normally operate overnight. The agency added 1,168 bus runs, and put an extra 344 buses into service, Feinberg said.

About 14,500 passengers rode buses during the Wednesday morning shutdown — up from 8,300 during a typical night before the shutdown, officials said.
