The MTA has so far failed to pass the subway photography ban, Newsday reports. The article cites a spokesman for NYC Transit, who says that a flood of public comments about the proposed ban has led the MTA to temporarily shelve the measure, pending further review.
I still think we'll see a ban of some sort—probably on photographing “sensitive” equipment such as switches and support structures—but I suspect the MTA will back away from a full ban.
