New York City is getting some new buses, and Governor Andrew Cuomo — a noted gearhead — thinks they’re lookers.
“I’d like to congratulate the MTA on the design of the bus,” said the governor, at his office in Midtown. “I think it’s very attractive. It has that European flair to it. I think it has almost a Ferrari-like look.”
The day after advocates traveled to Albany and demanded Cuomo explain how he plans to fund his portion of the MTA’s belated and still-unapproved $26 billion capital plan, Cuomo held a press conference to tout one element of that partially funded program: more than 2,000 new buses by the end of the decade.
“These are not going to be your father’s buses,” said Cuomo. “You know, it’s a new day.”
