New Yorkers want fast buses. Here’s how we get there:
New York City’s buses are the slowest in the nation — but they don’t have to be. With a few low-cost changes, we could not only improve this dismal ranking, but also have buses that are downright fast.
All it will take is a few big ideas…

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.
Faster, more frequent buses! Brought to you by congestion pricing.
"The MTA has already increased service on eight key express routes heading into Midtown. Next week’s improvements are meant to speed up travel within the boroughs on lines with particularly high ridership." —@nydailynews.com

I went on the news to talk about the NYPD’s new criminalization of biking:
"With this crackdown, the Adams administration is putting New Yorkers at risk of arrest, jail, and deportation for riding a bike."
We went on FOX 5 NY to talk about the NYPD's dangerous new policy of giving criminal summonses to cyclists:

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.

Today's "People's Ribbon Cutting" at the Queensboro Bridge sent a message loud and clear to Mayor Eric Adams: no more delays!
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!

The only mayoral candidate talking about traffic violence as a fixable public health issue
So tragic and awful.
Pedestrian deaths surged 18% last year. Among them were 46 seniors hit and killed while walking. And we’re off to a bad start in 2025.
The Mayor has the tools to make our streets safer but he’s refused to use them.

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.

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.
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
