During his tenure as governor, Andrew Cuomo avoided riding the subway despite overseeing the MTA. His reluctance stems from a desire to maintain a strong public persona, as riding the subway would contradict his image. This trend continues as he campaigns for the 2025 Democratic mayoral nomination, where he was seen arriving in a luxury car rather than using public transit, further illustrating the disconnect between his approach and the needs of city commuters who rely on subways for transportation. Cuomo's previous campaigns focused on suburban voters, but in New York City, public transit is crucial.
Cuomo, who supposedly lives in a swanky luxury building in the Sutton Place section of Manhattan, parked in a truck loading-only spot right in front of the union's headquarters near Union Square.
The image of a 'passive straphanger' doesn't align with the governor's can-do persona, indicating a disconnect between Cuomo's public image and the realities of New Yorkers using public transit.
