"We're taking the day off today to honor Martin Luther King Jr., as well as to remember the great civil rights leader as someone committed to helping working people get around with dignity."
"As he once said, "Public Transportation - buses, subways, trains, and more - are a genuine civil rights issue.""
"And it's worth reminding the public that since Mamdani's slip last week in supporting Gov. Hochul's scandalous effort to make drivers pay less for the damage they cause, Hizzoner hasn't had a stumble, so the Mamdani-O-Meter was back at four as of the end of Sunday:"
The day off honors Martin Luther King Jr. and remembers his commitment to helping working people travel with dignity. MLK stated that public transportation — buses, subways, trains, and more — are a genuine civil rights issue. Recent transportation headlines note Gov. Hochul emphasizing transit credentials, the appointment of Tricia Shimamura as Parks Commissioner, continued debate over a full digital mapping initiative, a New York Times profile of Transportation Commissioner Michael Flynn, and Fast Company coverage of delivery routing innovations. Mayor Mamdani shared a light moment with Council Speaker Julie Menin, and the Mamdani-O-Meter registered four after a prior policy misstep supporting reduced driver liability.
