Notes from the #mta board meeting yesterday about #CongestionPricing

Kathy #Hochul hates disabled people and loves her car drivers.

#ThanksHochul

The NY Governor is trying to cancel public health measures meant to keep folks safe

Met some of our #nasa giss #climate interns today, including a young woman from Rochester.

She drove to Poughkeepsie thinking to take the MetroNorth into #NYC to visit in person for a few days. But it was much more cost effective for her to pay for her tolls and parking and *drive* into #nyc instead of taking the train

#ThanksHochul

I blame you for a million bad choices made every day for folks to drive where they ought to take the train - it should always be cheaper to take mass transit.

@atthenius I walked into a hot car on the 1 this afternoon, went UGH, walked directly out and to the next car which promptly closed its doors in my fucking face, #ThanksHochul

Today I rode #HotCar 2427 on the 1-train.

#ThanksHochul 🚗
For frying #nyc #mta subways this summer. 🥵 🔥
