The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog NYC.

The mayor is a fraud. The governor is a fraud. Our legislative leaders are all frauds. Well, what other conclusion can you draw after you read today’s stories? One is about Mayor Adams’s failure to improve the lives of bus riders. Another is about Gov. Hochul’s continued waffling over holding drivers accountable for sticking us with the bill for their driving. And a third is about Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie and Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins blocking necessary transit improvements.

Frauds!
