Congratulations, Lower East Side commuters! The 14a bus route has won this year's "Pokey Award" from the NYPIRG Straphanger's Campaign and Transit Center.
Local activists and community activists are celebrating the MTA's decision to retain at least some local service on the M14 A and D lines through the Lower East Side.
If you're around the neighborhood this morning, you might want to stop by Ahearn Park. There's a rally coordinated by Educational Alliance in response to the MTA's plan to institute Select Bus Service, eliminating several stops along the M14 A and D bus routes.
