Huge thanks to the TWU Local 100 bus operators at the Flatbush depot, JP, and Chairman Evans for having us!

It was great to speak with operators about the day to day challenges they face and how we can work together to bring better buses to Flatbush Ave 🤝🤝📈📈🚌🚌

The MTA just announced which 6 bus lines will receive the $883k we won in the state budget process for more frequent express buses: the BM2, BM5, SIM1C, SIM4C, SIM23, & SIM24.

This is a big step towards the better transit New Yorkers deserve as it gets more expensive to drive.

In 2017, New York's governor called congestion pricing an idea whose time had come. On June 30, barring any last ditch court interference, congestion pricing will become a reality.

A day that can't come soon enough!

NEW: MTA sets official start date for #congestion pricing — SUNDAY JUNE 30th at 12:01am. (Two weeks behind what some had targeted.) Exemption applications for low-income discount now open. Peak hours: cars $15. #NBC4NY

Traffic violence killed someone every 36 hours during the first quarter of 2024.

Mayor Adams’ negligence is not just irresponsible — it's deadly.

honestly leave it to teenagers to have the most apt takes on everything.

With the never ending media frenzy and political grandstanding over safety in the subway, we thought it'd be nice to hear from actual transit riders about how safe they feel taking the train.

As usual, they did not disappoint.

Our fight to #GetCongestionPricingRight just won historic investments in our buses.

For the first time, the legislature will allocate $12M+ to make 20 MTA buses more frequent + reliable.

As congestion pricing begins, New Yorkers deserve better transit. Now, they're getting it.

With warm weather comes notorious New York Botanical Garden congestion on Fordham Road. The garden's aggressive suburban marketing strategy and forthright opposition to the #FordhamBusway are delaying thousands of riders across the Bronx and Northern Manhattan right now. For shame.

It’s always a great day to rally for more frequent, affordable bus service!

Today we stood with TWU Local 100 bus operators and transit champions Zohran Kwame Mamdani and Emily Gallagher to expand on the overwhelming success of fare-free buses!
