Adams is right to sound the alarm—Mamdani’s “free bus” scam is a fiscal Molotov cocktail. The IBO’s $650M/year price tag is just the start. Mamdani’s own MTA pilot crashed harder than a subway signal, with riders fleeing slower buses and fare evasion already gutting $800M annually. Kansas City’s collapse proves this isn’t progressive—it’s economic malpractice.

Cuomo built real infrastructure; Mamdani peddles activist cosplay. That $650M? Could fund XXX miles of bus lanes, signal upgrades, or 24/7 service. Instead, he’d torch revenue to fuel a DSA fantasy.

NYC’s buses are the slowest in America—Mamdani’s “solution” makes them free…and even slower. Adams knows stability beats slogans. Mamdani’s plan isn’t transit policy—it’s a grift, and New Yorkers’ patience is already expired.
