Citi Bike recorded over 24,000 rides on Tuesday, a day after this week's snowstorm ended — when most bikes across NYC were still snowed into docks. With the price of Citi Bike continuing to outpace inflation *and* the increase in subway fare, Lyft owes its customers more.

Days after NYC got a foot of snow, sidewalks and bus stops are still impassible in some places — especially for people pushing strollers and disabled New Yorkers using mobility aids. So who's fault is it?

The aftermath of the storm has highlighted how infrequently some New Yorkers use their vehicles. Luckily for car-owners, one of the few things that comes free in New York City is a place to store your private automobile on public land.

Parker waited over half-an-hour for the Bx36 bus on Tremont Avenue, one of the slowest buses in the country. Mayor Mamdani is hoping to revive a busway project that was shelved by the Adams administration — so long as the federal government doesn't get in his way.
