Public transit should be reliable, safe and universally accessible. But one in five New Yorkers struggle to afford the ever rising fare. Adding insult to injury: our city’s buses are the slowest in the nation, robbing working people of precious time for family, leisure and rest.

Zohran won New York’s first fare-free bus pilot on five lines across the city. As Mayor, he’ll permanently eliminate the fare on every city bus – and make them faster by rapidly building priority lanes, expanding bus queue jump signals, and dedicated loading zones to keep double parkers out of the way. Fast and free buses will not only make buses reliable and accessible but will improve safety for riders and operators – creating the world-class service New Yorkers deserve.

I'm announcing a plan to overhaul the mayor's office to protect tenants bringing code enforcement Under One Roof and making sure that agencies are working together to hold bad landlords accountable

starting on day one we will expand the city's special enforcement programs

• doubling fines for hazardous violations
• tripling them for conditions that are immediately dangerous

when a really bad landlord like this guy refuses to fix it the city's going to step in make the repairs and send them the bill

if that doesn't work the city's taking over the building

we're putting the worst landlords out of business

and we're going to transform 3-1-1 by bringing the latest and cutting edge Technology: scheduling appointments with inspectors so you actually know when they're showing up to your apartment

and the best part you're [landlords] going to pay for this

but actually bad landlords are going to pay for this

we're going to fund this expanded enforcement in the most obvious Way by actually collecting the fines and enforcing the violations the Adams Administration has spent 4 years ignoring

everybody says housing is a human right let's start acting like it
