I’m much more fun on Insta: instagram.com/samiktv/profil… and FB: facebook.com/share/15c89iSi… also follow me on: bsky.app/profile/samant…

.⁦@andrewcuomo⁩ has a proposal for transit to counter ⁦@ZohranKMamdani⁩ : city control over the transit system. But experts say that it could end up hurting, not helping NYCT. ny1.com/nyc/all-boroug…

Today was a great day. My commuter benefit card finally worked via @OMNY thru ApplePay for @NYCTSubway after a lot of frustration a a gazillion lost OMNY cards.

This would have been @ICShowNYC gold if closer to the show. We did feature the Monsignor in our last show along with Sabrina Carpenter.

At a @Partnership4NYC private breakfast Thursday, @NYCMayor said Tom Donlon “rapidly deteriorated” mentally, became "irrational & forgetful.” Said he told Donlon: “I want you to go to a doctor, get a medical diagnosis & get treatment." Donlon refused, so Adams said he fired him.

Oh by the way, amid all the mayoral campaign transit proposals, two more congestion pricing lawsuits against the @mta were dismissed. #traffic #transit #congestionpricing

Andrew Cuomo said if he is elected mayor, he will ask the state for control over city subways and buses. Some experts say that would be complicated. Read more: specne.ws/sAQBth

Experts weigh in on the complications of a NYC-run transit system (and we didn’t even discuss the probable loss of MTA, State Police, Nat Guard and state mental health outreach in the system (or become budget bargaining chips) instagram.com/reel/DMMM8x5u8…

Also, @MTA chair and ceo Janno Lieber tells @errollouis AI will be being used in cameras to detect certain behavior and situations that put people at risk of harm. Not implemented yet.

.@MTA chair Janno Lieber on @andrewcuomo proposal for city to take over @NYCTSubway to @errollouis on @InsideCityHall: This is not the time to go back.

Tunnel now moving but huge backup at @PANYNJ bus terminal (you’d think with buses slowly coming out of the tunnel there would be enough spacing they wouldn’t bunch up. Meanwhile 2 buses from the same route just breezed by in another lane.

Also @njtransit you knew 1 hour ago there was a broken down bus when this bus was at Port Imperial and we all could have taken the ferry. You suck! Now dispatch announces on bus while we’re in tunnel there’s a broken down bus. I already heard from @PANYNJ_LT & @1010WINS

I’m in the tunnel and not moving and this is what you get for a 3% fare increase without public hearings: worse service from @NJTRANSIT. This bus has been in the tunnel for over an hour! @NJTransit_CA

Said the man who admitted not even riding the subway, who also told Corey Johnson when he proposed BAT (“Big Apple Transit”) there were 10 billion reasons the city should not take over the subway system—$10 billion in state funding.

New Yorkers *really* don't want a 15 mph e-bike speed limit. @NYCMayor Adams' proposed rule is so unpopular that it smashed public comment records: 849 New Yorkers commented by yesterday's deadline. 90% opposed the mayor's political stunt.

Bedford Ave protected bike lane between Willoughby and Flushing lives on for now. A TRO issued after @TransAlt @BeadleLaw and plaintiff appealed. The @NYC_DOT cannot modify it and 300 cyclists say if modified they’ll sue city if hit by a motor vehicle in that area. @NY1

Monday night’s one hour rainfall in NYC ranked 2nd…Only behind Ida. That this happened without a tropical system is significant and shows our new reality. The top 3 wettest one hour rainfalls for NYC in the past 156 years have all happened in the past four years.

One of Zohran Mamdani’s campaign promises was a proposal for free buses. But is it feasible, and will it mean faster service? Here’s a closer look: specne.ws/YHUH8E

Thousands of workers are hard at work building the Hudson Tunnel Project on both sides of the Hudson River, and in it. @SamiLiebman gives you an inside look at the work in progress for @NY1. ny1.com/nyc/all-boroug…
