There’s a new Flixbus stop in NYC, and if you used to ride Megabus you’ll know exactly where it is. (For those wondering, the Flix lot on 31st and 8th is still in service as well)

Statement from MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber regarding legal filing to continue benefits of the congestion pricing program: www.mta.info/press-releas...
“Today, the MTA filed papers in federal court to ensure that the highly successful program – which has already dramatically reduced congestion, bringing reduced traffic and faster travel times,  while increasing speeds for buses and emergency vehicles – will continue notwithstanding this baseless effort to snatch those benefits away from the millions of mass transit users, pedestrians and, especially, the drivers who come to the Manhattan Central Business District. It’s mystifying that after four years and 4,000 pages of federally-supervised environmental review – and barely three months after giving final approval to the Congestion Relief Program – USDOT would seek to totally reverse course.”

I love how there are electronic displays being installed at the lower level of Port Authority even though this part of the bus terminal is being replaced in the next decade.

Finally I was able to ride the R211 on the A today. It was taken out of service earlier than planned due to congestion at 207th Street, but it was a nice ride nonetheless.

Took me longer than I would like to admit, but I finally did my first trip on Amtrak yesterday. It was a short ride, but overall I was impressed. More Amtrak trips to come.
