Why is it taking so long. This should have been brought in 20 years ago.
Oh man. This road is bumpy and full of pot holes. We’re in for quite a ride.
Is NYC as bad as I've heard ?
Checkpoints and card demands at random.
It's the silence of the citizens that's deafening. What does it take to get New Yorkers into the streets.
Why does every photo of a bike lane either feature it empty and/or with a biker riding a bike illegally?
There is good news Hunter is now chairman of the Taliban gas company.
Between this and Bidons per mile tax (and all the expensive tracking & recording shit cars will need installed to register most will not be able to afford a private car.
These Assholes want to make another Amsterdam here. a shithole where you must explain why you need a car, or expensive car for private use
If you can afford 30k for a car, you can afford this. Otherwise “on yer bike”.
It's Russia's fault !

That is really funny! BUT "many a truth is said in jest"
This could be true. LOL
Welcome M.How, Sometimes people need a good laugh when things are not going well.
Love how they're putting Queens, Brooklyn, SI, and the Bronx in the same meeting. Only 6 million people, I'm sure they're all the same and have the same issues.
This is a terrible idea and mostly affects working class people (ie. delivery, uber/cab drivers, trucking, etc..). The MTA gets to mismanage funds while raising fares for terrible service, less available options, less police presence, etc... and then expects all of us to only use the subway and buses. More people are moving out of this city for a reason. It's completely unaffordable and a upper class person won't care if they drive or pay more for a cab. F.U.N.Y.C.
