Thursday’s Headlines: Mr. Met on a Citi Bike Edition

We're sending Dave Colon out to Shea Citi Field today for the big announcement — hinted at least week in these pixels — that Citi Bike had finally reached the ballpark that shares its corporate naming rights.

We're told Mr. Met will ride around, even. But we won't be happy until our bike-riding reporter has made it there and back safely — no mean feat for anyone trying to bike to the Mets.

Until then, here were the top stories from a very slow news day in the mainstream press:

• Take that, Texas: A bus company has sided with Mayor Adams and decided to stop transporting asylum seekers from the Lone Star State to the Empire State. (NY Post, amNY)
• MTA CEO Janno Lieber urged big firms — the ones who will benefit from congestion pricing — to start cheering louder. (Crain's)
• Hey, did you see our Polk Award-winning and Goldsmith Prize-finalist reporter Jesse Coburn sharing his tips in the Journalist's Resource?
• The upstate town of Yorktown may come to its senses on lumping in e-bike with ATVs. (News12, Examiner)
• And from the national desk: President Biden continues to triple down on electric cars, which may improve the air a bit, but will lock in America to another century of poor land use decisions, road violence and congestion. (NY Times)
