‘Wi-Fi’ swaying tram

Maybe the Roosevelt Island Tram just needs to be powered on and off.

After The Post reported Wednesday that in recent weeks the tram has had several terrifying swinging episodes, the operators issued a statement explaining the issue: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth problems are to blame.

When “Wi-Fi and Bluetooth disruptions between the tram cabins and station occur, the cabins go into a controlled safety stop, which in midair can cause swaying,” Armando Cordova, a maintenance manager for Poma Tram Operation, said in a statement issued Wednesday evening by the Roosevelt Island Operating Corporation.

“The system will not restart until an operator or technician takes steps to verify the system status.”

‘No safety risk’

Poma and the Roosevelt Island Operating Corporation are continuing to investigate the cause of disruptions, but it “poses no safety risk” for riders, according to the statement.

The RIOC did not respond to a request for further comment.

Island residents are fed up with transit issues amid the monthslong partial shutdown of Roosevelt Island’s F-train station.

“How would Wi-Fi be disrupted?” Chris Klemmer, a 43-year-old blogger at Barstool Sports who has lived on the island since February, told The Post. “If the swaying takes one of the two trams out that’s a problem because we’ll now have to wait every 15 minutes.”

Clips of the swaying tram have been posted on YouTube and Instagram, where they’ve attracted attention. On Oct. 20, a passenger suffered from dizziness and headaches due to the tram’s motion, according to City Councilwoman Julie Menin.
