- “This is Hudson Yards-34th St. Hope you like weird architecture!” “This is 69th St., which is definitely, definitely not funny in any way.” Maybe Awkwafina/Nora from Queens can make conductor’s announcements on the 7 for not just a week? 🎙 🎙 🎙 nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-aw…
- Photos obtained by @THECITYNY of this morning’s fatal subway fire at the Central Park North-110th Street station the level of destruction.
- On congestion pricing, MTA bigs say the vehicle tolling plan has been “a huge step forward” for the region. Among the early gains: - Trip times across river crossings are much faster than a year ago, falling between 10-30% - Travel times south of 60th St are much improved 🧵 1
- Where hasn’t Chuck Schumer been today? Just check your timeline, he’s on there. Here’s his pit stop at 72nd and Columbus just before 3 p.m.
- Is that MTA Chairman Janno Lieber getting lifted into the air to unveil the “CONGESTION RELIEF ZONE” sign on Broadway and 61st? It’s a fair question! Answer: yes.
00:00 - The key sentence from the MTA: “We stand ready to relieve congestion and improve transit service for millions of riders.”
- This graffiti hit at the 96th St. stop on the Q (2nd Avenue Subway) was discovered around 9 pm Sunday, according to a source.
- “I hope that, going forward, the MTA will be given the leeway it needs to deliver New Yorkers the modern, fully accessible transit system that Fast Forward promised,” Andy Byford told @THECITYNY. “And that can now definitely become a reality”.
- A good morning — for those 🦆 🦆, at least — at Bethesda Fountain in Central Park.
- Among transit types, there is no need for “The Power Broker” in the background of your shot. Not when you’ve got “Subway Lives” on the shelves. Jim Dwyer was the best.
- Hadn’t been outside NYC in 329 solid days — since 3/6/2020. So I took the No. 2 to 241st St. and walked a few blocks across the city line into Mount Vernon. Upstate New York!
- Spotted in Central Park this morning. What year is this, 1997? 🚔 🚔
