The RFP is for the concessions for the entire plaza (including responsibility for seating). I'm curious how the rides would go. The little carousels in plazas at a number of Paris Metro stops are very cute and very popular with the kiddos. PDF: 34thstreet.org/assets/uploa...

Thank you, President Trump, for making new rolling stock cost $1 billion more it should. We salute you for making the US' transit cost crisis even worse. 🫡

It's particularly bad that they constantly delay updates on items by months at a time. The last signals update was due in spring, but was delayed with no real reason given. The last update discussed how far they had fallen behind and what they were doing to fix it. They should give an update!

Janno Lieber likes to blame Mamdani’s free bus campaign and Covid for muddying the waters and worsening bus fare evasion. Meanwhile, Lieber’s own buses are confusing riders in multiple ways (this bus is not going to Court Sq!) by flashing a “FARE REQUIRED” message on a free subway replacement bus

in New York there’s a slice of people who (maybe) have the time and money to drive a car around the city for personal transportation but are stupid enough to drive a car around the city for personal transport. This is a dangerous combo.

Sometimes I think about how we might not be in this mess, at least not in this way, had Cy Vance Jr. prosecuted Ivanka and Don Jr. for fraud back in 2012. Instead, Vance got some campaign donations from a Trump attorney and, well, here we are.

New York prosecutors were preparing a case. Then the D.A. overruled his staff after a visit from a top donor: Trump attorney Marc Kasowitz.

Why are they still not done building out the Flatbush Ave. busway? It’s taken months to do this project which should take a week or even a weekend, and all this does is give ammunition to critics.

Haven't had a chance to say this in a while because of the summer, but Tuesday's preliminary total has it as the 3rd busiest day for subway ridership in the post-COVID era. I expect it will inch into 2nd place once the final numbers are updated later this week.

BEST NYC SUBWAY LINES TO NAP ON, A RANKING 🧵 1. NQRW. Trains are roomy and usually pretty uncrowded, and the old trains with the orange seats have more seats than average, so you're more likely to get a place to have a nap. Also, the local is slow, so you're less likely to miss your stop
