The big story (well, in these parts) was the release of the Queens bus redesign, which is crucial given that many of the routes are relics of the pre-car days when streetcars ruled.
Everyone covered: NYDN, Streetsblog, amNY, NY1 (though not the Times or the Post).
In fact, at one point on Tuesday night, the Daily News loved the story so much, it posted it twice:
In other news from a surprisingly slow news day (especially given that the MTA board meeting is today):
- Appointing union head John Samuelson to the MTA board seems like a very shrewd idea by Mayor Adams. (NYDN)
- We've said it before and we'll say it again: when it comes to high gas prices, the only people we feel bad for are taxi drivers (especially Uber and Lyft drivers). (NY Post, Gothamist)
- Hat tip to Reuven Blau of The City for getting to the bottom of the city's public bathroom shortage.
- The MTA is talking signal upgrades. (amNY)
- Wow, Gothamist linked to Brian Lehrer's interview with Christopher Robbins over his awesome Streetsblog story about trash ... yet didn't link to Robbins's seminal story itself. Petty, anyone?
