IBX 🤝 QueensLink. Two excellent projects with incredible potential to transform our city.
They're also by no means mutually exclusive. Tell Mayor Mamdani and the City Council Queens needs IBX AND QueensLink using the link in bio
⛽ 😮💨 Gas prices got you down? Best way to tackle car dependence is by expanding public transit! QueensLink does this exceptionally well, reducing more vehicle miles traveled than both IBX and SAS Phase 2 combined!
🌼 🌷 🌸 We're Stepping into Spring with lots of events planned!
Stay tuned for more days of action soon 👀
Meet the New Boss; Same as the Old Boss?
A recent editorial in The Wave details Mayor Mamdani's "flip-flop" on QueensLink. He campaigned on a pro-transit agenda, so why is he blocking QueensLink?? Tell Mayor Mamdani to SAVE TRANSIT NOW at the link in bio!!

Why are we advocating for the M+G service pattern on QueensLink?
Here's what NYU's ridership report found!
Where are these riders coming from? Of the 65,000 new boardings (riders induced by QueensLink, distinct from the 10,000 riders who divert from other subway routes like the A), Queens Boulevard and the Rockaways both see a healthy increase, along with 20,700 new boardings at the 4 new stations!
In our newest report using STOPS data from NYU, the QueensLink corridor sees 75,000 daily riders! That's 92% more than than the last estimate of 39,000 daily riders in the MTA's 20 Year Needs Assessment.
If you thought those platforms were packed already, just wait. But QueensLink tackles this directly. More trains = Less crowding.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by our table at the Forest Hills Spring Fair yesterday!

50% more local service means shorter waits, more destinations and fewer delays and disruptions
Transit Mayor @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is walking back his support of the slam dunk QueensLink project.
Remind him that Queens desperately needs Rails AND Trails on this rare existing right-of-way.

QueensLink tackles the most unsafe roads in the city by removing 4.7 million cars off the road each year 👀
🚨Bad News🚨:

Thank you, Janno, for the recognition of QueensLink's Initial Business Case and Ridership Report! We look forward to the MTA's review of our findings on this transformative project. #BuildtheQueensLink
Happy Open Data Week!
Our latest report was built on Open Data, and the data says NYC has WAYYY too much to lose if QueensWay is built.
Tell Mayor Mamdani, Listen to the Data: NO WAY to QueensWAY!

We couldn't agree more!
Faster Commuter, Lower Emissions, Equity for Queens… It all goes away with QueensWay.
If you want @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social to stand by his past support, TAKE ACTION and use the Link in Bio to tell him “NO WAY to QueensWay!!”

South Queens is in a full blown Transportation Crisis. @mayor.nyc.gov’s preliminary budget has kept $43 million in funding for the anti-transit scheme QueensWay.
As designed, QueensWay would prevent a future north-south subway in Queens from ever being built.
In a new piece early this morning from the @nytimes.com on QueensLink’s report release, @mayor.nyc.gov's office declined to comment on whether the Mayor still supports transit on the Rockaway Beach Branch.
Is @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social turning his back on Queens riders?
- 4.7 million cars eliminated from the road every year, reducing CO2 emissions by 7,200 tons
- $8.9 billion in economic impact from construction
In other words, QueensLink is a slam dunk.
