Let's get the 34th Street Busway moving! Slow buses mean wasted time for working New Yorkers. You shouldn’t have to be late to work, or have to spend more time apart from your family, because of unnecessary traffic that messes up your commute.

Free parking in Manhattan is a handout to the rich. Why are we continuing to subsidize some of the wealthiest New Yorkers? Our streets are public space, owned and controlled by the City of New York. They should be used for the public good.

New Yorkers want fast buses. Here’s how we get there:

Congestion pricing is working so well that the MTA is now increasing bus service *outside* of Manhattan, too: these 16 routes are in Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island.

We went on 1010 WINS to talk about the latest congestion pricing news: "People don’t like sitting in traffic, and once they’ve experienced an improvement, they don’t want to go back. So the governor’s and the MTA’s position has remained the same: the cameras are staying on."

On Saturday, 150 New Yorkers walked across the Queensboro Bridge's south outer walkway. Mayor Adams refuses to open this pedestrian path, even though it's been done for a month. We rallied with @cmjuliewon.bsky.social and @sengianaris.bsky.social to demand the path finally be opened.

Thank you to @cmjuliewon.bsky.social, @sengianaris.bsky.social, and the dozens of advocates who showed up to demand the opening of the pedestrian path — then walked over it!

In stark contrast to the mayor's ongoing campaign to arrest street vendors in Queens and throw the book at them. Many of these poor people will now be deported because of Eric Adams. As usual, the rich get their own rules.

Charlie Baker @charliebaker.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

A socialist mayoral campaign — with massive fundraising momentum making it a serious contender — makes people take its ideas seriously. Articles in the mainstream press ask “How would that work?” instead of the traditional assumption of “that would never work.” This is a huge shift.

cityandstateny.com

Zohran Mamdani wants to make NYC buses free as mayor. How would that work?

In a race that is shaping up to be about who can make New York City most affordable, free buses are an appealing – if expensive – proposal.

Last night on Avenue C, I saw a driver going >40 blatantly speed through a red, swerving around a car waiting for the light. Meanwhile, a cop car was patrolling Tompkins just steps away. You’re way less likely to die in the park than you are on the street outside bc of some violent, unchecked driver

$642,000 raised in less than three months. 6,500 donors, 84% from NYC. Potentially up to $3.2 million in matching funds. We're fighting for every New Yorker to live with dignity — a rent freeze, fast free buses, and affordable groceries — and we're just getting started.

There's a stark difference between Brooklyn and Manhattan traffic in the first week of congestion pricing. Shuttle between the two boroughs on the L and you'll see totally different worlds: Brooklyn is a traffic-filled mess, as usual, while Manhattan is rapidly becoming a pedestrian paradise

Charlie Baker @charliebaker.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

Gf is reporting serious traffic causing her bus to crawl through BK at a glacial pace. Sounds like we need congestion pricing in Brooklyn as well... Or at least universal SBS with dedicated busways!

Charlie Baker @charliebaker.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

Poll is bad for: Lander (behind Stringer), Adams (sitting mayor low in a name rec poll), Blake and Myrie (both barely in the race) Poll is good for: Cuomo (high name rec), Stringer (comeback?), Ramos (7x rival Myrie), and Mamdani (newest politician, tied with the sitting mayor in a name rec poll!)

One of the many reasons I support Zohran for mayor is that in 2021 he helped win $450 million in debt relief for NYC taxi drivers, ending the medallion debt crisis that had been crushing cabbies. Here are some throwback photos of us on the Taxi Workers Alliance picket line outside City Hall in 2021

Because Governor Hochul delayed congestion pricing by 6 months, we lost half a year of improvements to public transit. As a result we have fewer electric buses, fewer elevators, fewer new trains ("rolling stock"), and a slower subway that largely still runs on signals that are a century old

It's going to be an incredible few months of the New York Post doing stories about Manhattan Men Victimized By Congestion Pricing and then it instantly being revealed that the person interviewed is a billionaire because they invented "convenience fees" or hold the patent for Sinus Headaches.
