We first uncovered new crimes committed by this deed theft circle in 2022. This week, the leader of that ring was sentenced to up to 7 years in prison. New from @rukminicallimachi.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/r...

Does the subway still need conductors? Much of the world say no, but union leaders say it's a safety issue. Gov. Hochul has to decide by year end whether to sign a bill that would mandate two-person train crews, even on lines that already moved to one operator www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/n...

Not only is it cruel to make an unpaid air traffic controller moonlight as an uber driver, it's also incredibly dangerous. They have to clock in the next morning, after working a double shift, to make sure planes don't collide www.nytimes.com/2025/11/07/t...

everyone calling suitsupply a modestly priced chain is making me self conscious :(

There are now cement trucks entering the White House construction site, which is not what you'd expect for a project that hasn't been reviewed by anyone yet. The White House has previously said no NCPC approvals are needed yet because they're just doing demo, not construction.

I grew up five minutes away from the Unisphere, in the city's best park, Flushing Meadows. It feels like Queens is ascendant in a way it hasn't been for as long as I've been here (...when the Mets won in '86)

Putting the IBX route next to the voting map also helps narrow down where the biggest rezoning fights are going to play out. Lots of resistance to greater density in the pro-Cuomo nabes in Queens

Zohran Mamdani's focus on public transportation - and on affordability in general - paid off in a big way. Lots of fascinating insights in this map (free link) www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Can buses be both "fast and free"? My dude @larrybuch.bsky.social rode the B41 up and down Flatbush Ave with a stopwatch to figure it out www.nytimes.com/video/upshot...

girl what!!!!

The MTA says a long awaited railroad project to connect Bronx residents to Penn Station will take at least 3 years longer than expected, and they’re blaming Amtrak for the delays www.nytimes.com/2025/10/27/n...

Can fast buses in New York actually be free? @stefanoschen.bsky.social + Larry Buchanan and I take a close look at an idea that has helped propel Zohran Mamdani's campaign for mayor. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Would you pay $900 for a subway seat? If you said, um, it's probably too late. Read this great dispatch from Cam Baker on the MTA's garage sale www.nytimes.com/2025/10/17/n...

New York has paused its 34th Street busway project, after the Trump admin threatened to withhold unnamed federal transit funds. It's the latest in a long list of federal interventions on local transit matters. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/17/n...

This story is absolutely WILD. Must-read of the day.

Delightful read on 6-7, which is all my kids talk about. Who knew they were so familiar with Derridean poststructuralism www.wsj.com/lifestyle/si...

Several news organizations, including The Washington Post, The New York Times, Newsmax and NPR, have announced that their journalists will not sign a new set of Pentagon restrictions affecting news gathering in the massive military complex.

hoo boy. Telling detail in the very short Tish James indictment.

There are so many fights over federal funding that it's hard to keep track. Today, Gov. Hochul called the Trump admin hypocrites for pulling $34M in antiterrorism funds for the subway and rails. (This is separate from the $187M security funding restored last week.) www.nytimes.com/2025/10/09/n...

Another call for sources: I'm reporting on pediatric Covid vaccine access. If you've had trouble finding pediatric doses in stock, or if your child was turned away, I'd love to hear from you: [email protected]. Thanks to those who replied to my pregnancy callout; that story will be out soon.

It's official: NYC bus and subway fares are rising to $3 next year, along with a number of other increases to transit fares and tolls. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/30/n...

A strike on the Long Island Rail Road, America's biggest passenger rail service, has been averted, after unions made the unusual decision to ask President Trump to intervene on their behalf. The move could put off the strike for months. Free link: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/n...

Last year, the MTA lost $1 BILLION to fare and toll evasion, across the buses, subway, railroads and road tolls. For the first time in five years, it looks like 2025 could start to turn the tide, thanks to a range of anti-fare evasion tactics www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/n...

The subway had its safest summer in 15 years, according to police data, a vastly different picture than the one painted by the Trump administration www.nytimes.com/2025/09/10/n...

I can't help but notice that this job was posted in February but still appears to be open. "Come use your journalism degree to shovel out multiple pieces of AI slop every day in order to 'enable' your colleagues to do actual journalism" is such a good pitch though, I don't understand

I haven’t been in Grand Central Madison at rush hour until today and IMO it’s wild that retailers haven’t opened here yet. It’s bustling. Per @mta.info 70k commuters each weekday. And Tracks is now open and it’s already busy. MTA is negotiating 5 leases currently.

Patients are inundating some NYC medical practices with messages that they are experiencing Covid symptoms. They also are peppering medical providers with questions about whether they qualify to receive a coronavirus vaccine after the FDA released new vaccine restrictions.

NEWS: CVS, the largest pharmacy chain in the country, is currently not offering Covid vaccines in 16 states and DC — even to people who meet the new FDA criteria — because the CDC hasn't signed off and isn't expected to do so (if it does so) for at least three weeks.

My Greek cousin described his neighborhood as the Jersey of Athens and I’ve never been prouder as a New Yorker of my family

The city called them essential workers, when they cleaned up trash, vomit and excrement in the subway, at the height of the pandemic. But they were grossly underpaid, the comptroller found. Now, they’ll split $3M in back pay. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/12/n...

In urban policy, it is considered bad for someone to be rent-burdened (spending at least 30% of their income on rent). But Cuomo's newly proposed law would *require* that people be rent-burdened. Absolutely insane.
