Friday Funny: Big Wheel vs. NYC Bus (VIDEO)
Comedian Mark Malkoff set out to demonstrate the state of public bus transit in NYC by racing a city bus while riding a child's tricycle.
From StreetsBlog.org:
"Sure, it's a cute stunt, and notoriously slow buses are a ready-made punchline ("Take that, MTA!"). But the real joke is on New York transit riders, pranked not by the MTA, but by the NIMBYs and skyscraper moguls on 34th Street who just derailed their best chance to see how efficient crosstown bus service can be."
