How do we speed buses up? There are plenty of tools already in the city's toolbox.

Just look at the 14th St busway.

Zohran Kwame Mamdani @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social · Jul 11

The 14th Street Busway has been a smashing success: faster commutes, fewer crashes, calmer streets.

So why is Eric Adams blocking a similar plan for 34th Street?

And we've already seen the transformative impacts of eliminating the fare when we won and implemented a historic fare free bus pilot on one line in each borough.

Ridership went up. Assaults on operators went down. And people saved money.

Albany must embrace transformational change to bring NYC transit back on track and be ready for the challenges of tomorrow.

I'm on the slowest bus line in the city with the slowest buses in the nation to talk to New Yorkers about what it would mean for their lives if we made them fast and free.

The M57 crawls along its route at as a dismal avg. speed of 4.9 mph, according to a report by @nyccomptroller.bsky.social.

Some New Yorkers can literally walk faster than this.

Buses are how more than a million New Yorkers get to work, school, job interviews and appointments.

Especially in outerborough neighborhoods with no subway service, they're a lifeline.

And today, 1 in 5 New Yorkers struggle to afford the fare. It doesn't need to be this way.

American politics has become a disgusting game where politicians profit against the public interest. Apparently unwilling to hold offenders accountable, the public's apathy is now going to have it paying for decades to come. 😞 Well done MAGA.

That's true and soon our number will be even bigger as the red states go more broke. They are going to really feel the pain which will only make them come to our table.

Our side has prevailed in something like 200 challenges we’ve taken to Court
They can lodge countless appeals and roadblocks; I mean they’re totally screwing the pooch when and where they can. Hurting ppl is their goal
But their methods are illegal, our numbers are growing
It just takes a long time
