The 42-year-old victim was walking from his car and reporting to work when he was clobbered with an unknown object and then kicked while in the lot at the No. 2 and 5 subway line at the 180th Street Station in Van Nest around 5:45 a.m.
Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal expressed strong support for Verizon and T-Mobile to bring their services to select subway stations, emphasizing the need for immediate activation of cell service.
For decades, Saul Zabar, with his exacting standards, culinary acumen, and fierce loyalty to those who worked for him, was the heart and soul of his family-run delicatessen on West 80th Street and Broadway.
With just a single tap, subway and bus customers now have access to real-time arrivals at the stops closest to them, along with live positioning of the nearest trains and buses, clearer station layouts, and better transfer information.
The MTA will only move towards introducing all-door boarding on city buses after it has rolled out a promised European-style approach to fare evasion enforcement aboard the vehicles, Chair and CEO Janno Lieber said on Tuesday. Lieber, while testifying during a Feb. 3 state legislative budget hearing, made clear that the MTA will not activate OMNY tap-and-pay readers in the backs of buses until after it has established its new fare validation system on them.
On Jan. 17-19 overnight, downtown A and C trains in Manhattan will skip 116 St, 110 St, 103 St, 96 St, 86 St, 81 St and 72 St. Uptown C trains in Manhattan will skip Spring St, 23 St and 50 St during the same time. There will be no overnight C service this weekend, take the A train instead. In Manhattan, uptown E trains will skip Spring St and 23 St from 11:45 p.m. on Jan. 16 to 5 a.m. Jan. 20.
In effect, that means service changes across all lines besides the F, M, 2, and Franklin Avenue and Rockaway Park Shuttles. Overnight, downtown local A trains will skip all stops between 125th St and 59th St-Columbus Circle and uptown local A trains will skip Spring St, 23rd St, and 50th St. Both downtown and uptown local C trains will skip the same stops as the overnight A during the day and evening, with no overnight service.
"There's interest across the board," Michael Kemper, MTA chief security officer, told THE CITY. "It's not only coming from the MTA, but from the business world, the AI business world, in working with us."
The 10-cent fare hike took effect this past weekend, pushing the base subway and bus ride to $3 for the first time in city history. New Yorkers woke up Sunday to a small but psychologically seismic shift at the turnstiles: the base fare for subways and buses has officially hit $3. The 10-cent increase, approved last fall by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, nudges the fare up to $3 and marks the first time the system has crossed that threshold in its 120-year history.
The biggest problem with bus fare evasion comes from the back of buses, where fare-beaters tend to climb aboard while buses are stopped, and the front and back doors are open. Photo by Dean Moses MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber on Wednesday said the transit agency is still examining whether the new European-style of fare enforcement that, he said, is coming to city buses can be done while the vehicles are in motion or will require them to stop.
As you can see from Czebotar's Bluesky post, some guy told a cop that he was using a fake license plate because he's an MTA bus supervisor and doesn't want to get automated tickets for blocking bus lanes. It sounded almost vaguely plausible - I mean, who wants to trigger all those cameras with bus lane violations as you go about your day monitoring, um, bus lane violations? But Colon got the answer from the MTA: it's total BS.
The setback is due to the discovery of severe, unforeseen deterioration of steel supports also known as girders that hold up the 7 train tracks and platforms above Roosevelt Avenue at the 61st Street station in Woodside, Queens. Other stations, including 69th Street and 52nd Street, are part of the construction project, which was initially slated for completion in May 2025. The work is not expected to be completed until May 2027.
There's a coffee shop in East New York, Brooklyn, that does more than sell lattes, cappuccinos and smoothies. With cozy furniture, friendly staff and a relaxed vibe, Bklyn Blend, located a short walk from the next stop on the planned IBX train, marks a sliver of change for a mostly industrial, but working-class and historic section of NYC. Bklyn Blend was buzzing with customers on a recent Thursday night.
