Mamdani's DOT commissioner wants NYC to be more like Paris, Bogotá, Tokyo

New York City's transportation system is far from the greatest in the world. Mayor Zohran Mamdani has tasked his transportation chief with turning things around.

Mayor Eric Adams (and others) used to frequently declare that New York has the best transportation system in the world.

New Transportation Commissioner Mike Flynn acknowledges that isn’t true, but thinks he has political support to improve the city’s streets

Think it was about 8 km from the airport to my hotel when I was there a few years ago. Took over an hour.

  Well and everyone in Colombia has two cars so that they can drive on their off days.
