Buses are the only form of public transit which are fully accessible. That fact, alone, justifies @SenGianaris bill. But there is so much more reason to support buses. We need dedicated bus lanes and buses equipped with cameras to ticket any vehicle that obstructs their path.
New York’s buses need a boost, which is why I'm calling for $90 million in this year's budget for the @MTA to #GetCongestionPricingRight. By making buses fast, frequent, and fare-free, we can offer New Yorkers a viable alternative to driving downtown
Time to re-vision Northern Blvd - we get “protected” bike lanes which the ever expanding car dealerships use to unload cars. Enough! @CMJulieWon @NYC_DOT 🤬😤🥶
@ZohranKMamdani and Eric Beaton of @nycdot insisting on immediate implementation of yearly mandates for bus and protected bike lanes with congestion pricing!

Today would be a great day to apply for discounted ferry fare program: ferry.nyc/discount/ You may qualify based on age (65 ), disability, or fair fares recipient. My one page application and a copy of my NYC ID is in the mail. Bikes now are free on the ferry.!
Some trucks in Europe are very large, but all have side guards. This articulated truck was on the little island of Ithaca. It passed inches from us while sidewalk dining last night. How does it navigate the mountain road switchbacks @NYC_SafeStreets @PedestrianTom
New Wave pier is a road to nowhere from 38th St. worth exploring, and excited to ride it when it is connected. Let’s consider it a preview of coming attractions!
@ChrisCuomo held a nuanced town hall last night. @Fam4SafeStreets was hoping to speak about how traffic violence has a devastating effect rivaling gun violence. We never got called on, but did get Chris’ ear after.
Today is Canada Day, a time to celebrate a spacious, car-dominated country with a crash death rate 60% lower than the USA.
(I'm serious. The average American is 2.5x more likely to die in a crash than a Canadian.)
