Transit advocates with the group Riders Alliance launched a contest to find the worst wait times New York City's subways and buses have to offer, and are offering the winner a 30-day transit pass.

“Right now, Governor Hochul and her MTA leadership are running a transit service that is not frequent enough to meet people’s need,” said Riders Alliance spokesperson Danny Pearlstein. Entrants can post a picture on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook — be it a shot of a subway countdown clock, a travel app, or posted schedules — while tagging @RidersAlliance and @GovKathyHochul and using the hashtag #SixMinuteService.
Crew shortages and a drop in fare revenue during the pandemic have put the MTA in a tough spot as the agency faces down the prospect of running at a $1.6 billion annual deficit after COVID relief money from the federal government runs out in the coming years.
