Oh cool, another distraction
@nyctbus.bsky.social half hour waiting for one bus, since one bus simply did not show up. Now 15 minutes waiting for the next bus. And customer service only exists on weekdays. You want folks to pay fares? How about you do better?

And for today’s fun waited 14 minutes for a bus that never came and now need to wait 13 more minutes for a bus. Is this one going to show? @nyctbus.bsky.social @nyctransit.bsky.social

Nothing like a 17 minute wait for a bus at a stop with no shade. Nothing but the best service for Staten Island! @nyctransit.bsky.social @nyctbus.bsky.social

Such fun to wait 15 minutes for a bus and then have 2 pull up at the same time. Continuing excellent weekend bus service on Staten Island @nyctbus.bsky.social @mta.info @nyctransit.bsky.social please do us all a favor and change for the better

@nyctransit.bsky.social @nyctsubway.bsky.social 20 minutes is an extremely unacceptable wait time for any train at any time. How are you so bad at this?

@nyctbus.bsky.social care to chime in on what’s going on with the S78 on Staten Island? I feel like you just never have it together and no matter how early I leave to get anywhere on SI from Brooklyn the bus is always running badly

Always a delight when the bus time clock starts adding time to the wait. 17 minutes, 16, 15, 16, now 35, 33. This isn’t cute @mta.info @nyctbus.bsky.social

I put some chocolate out on the shelf outside my team’s office. People think I’m being nice but that’s 75% true. 25% is so I get steps in walking to get chocolate.

The administration increased the cost estimates for new arrivals, even though the population continued to decline. Meaning that spending estimates were not updated with new trends/information as it became available.

👉 Read the report to learn more:
Adams Administration Overestimated New Arrival Spending in 2024
The New York City Independent Budget Office (IBO) has just released a new report that sheds light on the City's spending on new arrivals. With the release of Mayor Adams' Fiscal Year 2026 Preliminary Budget in a few weeks, IBO’s latest analysis offers an important point of comparison: it examines the Administration's initial cost estimates for new arrival-related expenses alongside actual spending.

Mother: I’m taking my collar off. I don’t want to wear my collar in a diner
Me: But it was cool last night at China Chalet?
Mother: Gives “The Look”

My dogphew was outside for less than 5 minutes. He’s been curled up under the blanket ever since.

My Mother (a Deacon): These are adult cookies
Me (lay person): What does that even mean?
Sister (a Priest): she means they have a penis on them
(They did not)

My dear Mother misidentified what band Joey McIntyre was in. My sister, the priest, was very upset.
