Organizers used data from May to determine the 'winners.'
New York City Transit President Richard Davey appears at the annual Pokey and Schleppie awards hosted by NYPIRG.New York City Transit President Richard Davey appears at the annual Pokey and Schleppie awards hosted by NYPIRG.For the first time anyone can remember, the New York City Transit president appeared at an award ceremony on Monday that recognized the most problematic buses across the five boroughs for the month of May.
After awarding the M102 route that runs from the East Village to Harlem a golden snail on a pedestal for its phlegmatic average speed of 4.6 miles per hour, organizers were paid a surprise visit by Richard Davey, the New York City Transit president who was appointed to the role in May. NYPIRG collaborated with the nonprofit organization Transit Center to help crunch average speed times for 77 of the MTA’s bus routes with the highest ridership during the month of May. Mary Buchanan with Transit Center, declared the runners-up pretty pitiful too.
There are currently 100 cameras installed in the front of buses that will automatically ticket vehicles blocking bus lanes, which Davey said will increase to 400 by the end of the year.
