NJ Transit is working to replace the reviled, 116-year-old Portal Bridge, which has delayed commuters entering Manhattan for years and years. But first, a month of painful service changes. Riders aren't thrilled. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/n...

Announcing new bus lane projects on a Bx12 is a cool flex, can't lie. Standing room only for reporters

The Post was foolish enough to unleash a bevy of the world’s most talented multi-disciplinary journalists out there for their competition to scoop up. These are some of the most hard working and skilled people I know. Save this one and reshare it please! 📊

Their art has never been more popular, and that's the problem. How long can MetroCard artists stretch their limited supplies? A 🧵 on some lovely art, and the stockpile of cards the MTA might choose to burn, rather than share with the artists www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/n...

Really touching story about Mamdani's relationship with Richard Chow, a cab driver who has supported the mayor ever since he joined a hunger strike to help cabbies struggling with medallion debt. This is the mayor's base. By Winnie Hu www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/n...

This is NOT me, tell them to kick rocks

Is Mayor Mamdani’s free bus plan the best use of $1 billion a year? One transit think tank has an alternative (and very ambitious) proposal: expand the subway! Agree or disagree, it’s nice to dream - take a look at the new lines they would build www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/n...

No ruling on congestion pricing in NY federal court yet, but if the judge’s chin rubs and pulled faces are any indication, the court has doubts about the Trump administration’s opposition to the toll. New, from Lower Manhattan: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/28/n...

Just days after her inauguration, NJ Gov. Mikie Sherrill is at odds with NY Gov. Kathy Hochul over a political appointment at the Port Authority -- a role that hasn't been filled since the embarrassing Bridgegate scandal. w/ Pat McGeehan www.nytimes.com/2026/01/23/n...

Uhhh

It's been a rough half decade. Nobody got the time or energy for murder www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/u...

AI has me worried, but, like, not that worried

Mikie Sherrill did what no one else has in NJ since 1961: win her party a third consecutive term in the governor’s office. Always read @traceytully.bsky.social on all things Jersey www.nytimes.com/2026/01/20/n...

ICYMI, we teamed up with @upshot.nytimes.com to analyze all the ways congestion pricing has changed life in the New York area, one year after the cameras turned on. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

even if u find some of these pie-in-the-sky, it's an interesting list of goals and a good preview of agenda items for DOT and other agencies. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The governor ends her victory lap on congestion pricing with the new mayor. Lots of city-state negotiations ahead, but today, they formed a united front www.nytimes.com/2026/01/05/n...

My favorite evidence that congestion pricing in New York has reshaped peoples’ behavior: we can see a surge of people trying to enter the zone before the price kicks up at 5 a.m., and after it decreases at 9 p.m.

Good deal

The State of the Chains report by @nycfuture.bsky.social is always interesting reading. Big chains are shrinking citywide, led by cuts at Starbucks. Dunkin' still undefeated in the 5 boros. Big box pharmacies in a tailspin. And food is driving a lot of the growth nycfuture.org/research/sta...

Today the the MTA debuted a new style of fare gates it expects to install in 150 stations over the next five years. A few minutes before the demo, a woman got her neck caught in the door, and a man brazenly pushed the doors open to prove it can be gamed. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/n...

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

It’s one thing to threaten to leave. It’s another to follow through.

REMINDER: Starting at 6 a.m. this Monday, December 8, F and M trains will permanently swap routes between Manhattan and Queens on weekdays, affecting eight stations. There will be no change from current service late evenings, nights, and weekends.
