Sitting on a bench.
Waiting at a bus stop.
Crossing the street.
Enjoying a Fourth of July party.
These are the things people were doing in NYC when drivers killed them.
Just wait. They’ll blame “medical episode”.
Need to figure out a bigger faregate at York
Whats noteworthy is that the Manhattan bridge trips did not decline. These are *new trips* that would have previously been Ubers or non-trips that are now taking place on bikes.
💯
Backtracking after backlash means backlash works. Also, saying didn't know what you're doing means you shouldn't be in Congress.
Appeasement didn’t work in the 1930s. Why should anybody imagine it will succeed in the 2020s? Trump needs a sharp reminder that Europe stands together. One effective way would be for all their football teams to withdraw from the World Cup. The tournament would lose any credibility in that case!
The AirTrain should be free! Or at least the same price as the subway and include a free transfer. (Regardless- those workers should get a better deal!)
If you want some good news, flu hospitalizations are going down in NYC rapidly

@mayor.nyc.gov please rescue us from ourselves

Patiently waiting for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social to also announce that work will resume on the Ashland Place bike lane missing block. It was left in such a ridiculously unsafe state by the corrupt Adams Administration.
The city can veto annual subscription increases, but the de Blasio admin gave Lyft 100% control over ebike pricing
Y’all weren’t kidding about the seats on these new Acela cars. Lots of other weird/poor choices. That said- our train is without a cafe attendant and they are just giving away the food and drinks (no hot stuff or alcohol)
The NY TWU turned opposed congestion pricing as well. Really seems like they're laser-focused on extracting the rents they can from a static or declining system rather than participating in a positive-sum program to expand transit service to more New Yorkers
Headline from CNN that reads Trump administration drops plan to require passenger compensation for delayed flights
Of course they did.

That last line. Oof. That's how you do it.
This block would have been covered by the road diet Mayor Adams cancelled earlier this year @nyc.streetsblog.org
Incredible new @chiosse.bsky.social video with @ilanaglazer.com on how New York became so unaffordable
It *is* kind of wild how the dominant aesthetics of the new fascist movement are AI slop and cosmetic surgery so excessive you look like the Black Hole Sun music video. Nobody ever told them “no that’s a bad idea” and they’ve scared off or pushed away anyone who might.
Congestion pricing in New York is following the same public opinion polling trajectory it followed in London and Stockholm. Sometimes, just getting something done is the way to make it popular.
Look, you big pathetic baby. You can drive your car. To access one small part of NYC by car, you have to pay slightly more than the amount those of us who ride the subway do to take a round trip. Stop crying, Sean Duffy.

JON WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE INDUSTRIAL BAGEL?
Bill Ackman giving a quarter mil to get Cuomo the NYC mayoralty should tell you all you need to know about the both of them
Only if they make the AirTrain free! (I know there are some federal issues or some such, but I don’t care)
I really enjoy “Slow Horses” but the color grading in Season 4 has gotten bit extreme.
Lotta red @wshcapitals.bsky.social jerseys in the audience for this away game against San Jose!

That air ain’t so fresh anymore, is it Ed?
