Jubilant day for Joel Camas, the 16-year-old from the Bronx detained by ICE last month. Judge Cathy Seibel ordered his release, and he is reunited with his uncle. In court, Seibel lamented that "kids are getting held for six months even though they have a safe place to go"

This morning, T4America responded to reports from Politico that the Trump administration is proposing to eliminate federal transit funding and the flexibility states have to determine how to spend their own formula dollars. Read the full statement: https://t.co/hY0vKBkxVI

“ When I had told him it's the same guy that stood with our uncle and so many other people that drive cabs that my father knows,” said Singh, “He's like, ‘No way, that's the guy?’” another great voter story by ⁦@brigidbergin⁩ and joe hong

It’s crazy that the new NYC subway cars only have 30 seats and the old ones have 80 and we are in any way supposed to consider this an improvement. Me must return…

Thanks, Zohran. I’m proud to be in the fight with you for a democracy on the terms of working people: affordability, housing, safety, and more. From NYC to Seattle: this is your city. #thisisyourcity

NEW MERCH ALERT: "It's pronounced cyclist" 🚲 The clapback heard in bike lanes around the world, by NYC's mayor-elect. Keep the haters on their back foot as you zoom by in this natural eggshell white tee.

Congratulations to Seattle’s Mayor-elect @wilsonformayor! Seattle voters made their voices heard: they want a new kind of politics — one that rejects corporate PAC money and delivers for working people. From one Mayor-elect to another, wishing you the best. Seattle is in great

"17% of respondents stated that they started using bus service because it became free. "Younger people and women were particularly likely to be new riders. "Implementation of a fare-free policy can help providers strengthen their core ridership base while also expanding it."

One of the most troubling aspects of NY's retreat on climate policy is the validation of climate denialism. What once was considered fringe conspiracy is gaining footing. NY must lead and help our country maintain course in the midst of Trump's dangerous denial.

Another article about how Los Angeles isn't "dense enough for transit" by someone for whom buses seem to be invisible. Los Angeles is plenty dense for great transit, but most of it will logically be better, more useful buses. Let go of the bus-erasure and possibilities appear!

The Bronx has long borne the brunt of pollution and heavy truck traffic. Now it’s time for the borough to reap the rewards of congestion relief. Learn why and how from @THEPOINTCDC's Dariella Rodriguez and NYC-EJA's Kevin Garcia 👇 https://t.co/1o0zopIUaF

The IIJA has increased funding for highways but much has been eaten by faster-than-inflation increases in labor and materials costs. Transit capital spending has flatlined, and rail projects have experienced a net decline in spending.

The New York Evening World’s reply to Henri Lefebvre, six decades in advance: The right to the city includes the right to get out of the city. Here the World condemns the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company for demanding two five-cent fares for service to Coney Island.

@ridestheq46 PS: nobody is talking about turning middle village into LIC. We’re talking about 8%-10% more housing in nabes citywide….

14 liberal Jewish groups condemn ADL’s attack on Mamdani. “The ADL’s racist and Islamophobic attacks on our mayor-elect undermine our shared commitment to confronting both antisemitism and Islamophobia.. We urge Jewish institutions to work in good faith with the new admin.”

📰 @NYPIRG in the news: "Congestion pricing is helping unclog Midtown, but riders won't feel real relief until the city pairs it with strong, enforced bus priority projects." 🚌 - NYPIRG @Straphangers Campaign Regional Director Natasha Elder

Congrats to the M42 on winning the "Pokey Award" — let’s make that the last time a NYC bus is this slow. NYC should be known for buses that are fast and free.

In other forms, demands for fare-free public transit have a long history. In New York their ancestor is the demand for the 5-cent fare. In 1900, when the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company began charging a second nickel to passengers going to Coney Island, many New Yorkers objected.

@hollypret Bisgaard-Church speaks first. “I promise that this administration will be open minded, strategically oriented and pragmatically focused,” she says. “We will be open to new ideas because we know the old ones aren't working.”

No, right wingers, emergency vehicles are not having a hard time getting through court street now that it has a bike lane. In fact, they can use the bike lane in an emergency, which has no cars in it!
