About this episode
Is New York over? It’s a question that’s widely debated these days. We will return to this question from time to time in a number of episodes. On this episode, we look at subways. During the pandemic, subway ridership has been down as much as 90%. While we’re focused on NYC, this topic matters to everyone living or working in megacities around the world. NYC is a Microcosm. What’s the state of our subways? Will they come back? What do we need to do to save and transform public transportation? On this episode Dan welcomes: -Nicole Gelinas, a senior fellow for the infrastructure economy at the Manhattan Institute, a contributing editor at City Journal, and a columnist for the NY Post. @nicolegelinas -Reihan Salam, the president of the Manhattan Institute, bestselling author, and contributing editor at The Atlantic and National Affairs. @Reihan
