Zohran Mamdani rode the subway from Astoria to work and will make an announcement Friday at Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn at 2:15 p.m. He focused heavily on improving city transit during his campaign and promised to make buses "fast and free," though state and MTA leaders have not supported eliminating bus fares. Mamdani signed executive orders on his first day to bolster tenants' rights, reestablish the Mayor's Office to Protect Tenants, and create LIFT and SPEED task forces to review city land for housing and remove bureaucratic hurdles to development by July 1. He pledged to ensure 311 violations are resolved and to hold slumlords accountable.
