Today on @allofitwnyc.bsky.social we are kicking off a series combining two of my favorite things: transit and music. Subway trumpeter Eganam Segbefia will perform live in studio, and we will learn the plans @mta.info has for the future of music in the subway! Tune in to @wnyc.org at 12:30.

Fair. Still unhinged.

Also I get that taxi cabs are easier to get on the field than subway cars but…. I’m resentful that the Giants got to emerge from a streetcar

I’m trumpeting that I saw the trumpeter swan in the East River earlier today. Lifer!
