About this episode
The MTA and NYPD are planning to send a surge of officers onto bus routes as part of a new fare evasion crackdown. Meanwhile, repairs are still underway after the Coney Island Cyclone was shut down a week ago due to mechanical issues. Plus, a new report shows that detainees at Rikers Island aren’t getting prompt medical care. WNYC’s Matt Katz has more. Finally, WNYC teams up with the nonprofit Street Lab to highlight stories from neighborhoods across New York City. This week, we set up shop at Brooklyn Black Utopia, an event at the Flatbush African Burial Ground. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
