  • You Have One Job

    We have just one ask: when on transit, wear your mask

  • Real-Time Strip Maps

    Yesterday was the formal intro of the real-time screen content you may have seen in the subway. I sketched the strip map on my iPad and soon amazing MTA colleagues had a working prototype. The team spent the next several months testing, refining, and rolling them out to the system as part of a super-cool…

  • Transit Pride

    🏳️‍🌈 PUBLIC 🚇 TRANSIT 🚍 GOT ❤️ PRIDE 🏳️‍🌈

  • Enough with the Fireworks

    As a fellow Harlem resident, I endorse this message

  • Birthday Cat 2020

    Happy 10th birthday to my dearest Helena. You can’t ask for a better cat to spend a pandemic with. 

  • Lunch at Pisillos

    First meal together in over two months! We may be socially distant, but we’re still family.

  • Orange is the Word

    Reading for a rainy day in NYC. The book cover colors are purely coincidental, I swear. #massimovignelli #sovietspacegraphics

    Happy Vyshyvanka Day to all who celebrate! 🇺🇦

    Tired: drone delivery from AmazonWired: balloon delivery of cat treats

  • Essential Cat Working

    Remember: you’re always an Essential Worker to your cat. (Thank you to all the real Essential Workers out there.)

  • Lonely Bull

    There’s usually a long line to get this shot, but today the Bull is all alone ☹️

  • Back to Gong Cha

    It’s hard to drink bubble tea with a mask, but we’re just happy that our local Gong Cha Tea is open again.

  • Sound the Horn

    On Thursday 4/16 at 3pm Eastern Time public transportation agencies around the USA will #SoundTheHorn in honor of the essential work that transit employees are doing. Tag your local transit system to show your support for the #HeroesMovingHeroes!

  • 240fps

    My cat at 240 frames per second

  • Heroes Moving Heroes

    Our new MTA campaign celebrates the workforce that is keeping our trains & buses running during this crisis. Photographing them on the job was really inspiring and made me so proud to call them colleagues. #HeroesMovingHeroes

  • Keep Ya Head Up

    Keep ya head up, everyone. We’re going to get through this.‬

  • Why are you even here reading this?

    No cure yet for COVID-19, but strong and frequent doses of NYC attitude definitely couldn’t hurt.

  • Vanity Cat

    Probably just my imagination, but it does feel lately like my cat is prepping for a Vanity Fair cover.

  • Raccoons of Riverside Park

    New Yorkers: we’re blasé about celebrities but mesmerized by wildlife.

  • WFH Supervisor

    Biggest pain of working from home is the boss always looking over my shoulder.

  • Born to be Mild

    Like a true nature’s child, we were born, born to be mild.

  • OMNY in Harlem

    OMNY comes to Harlem! Worked perfectly with my Apple Watch. Only regret is realizing my hair is now as gray as my jacket.

  • CAT: Cat Aerial Transit

    Super excited to announce completion of CAT (Cat Aerial Transit), connecting left & right sides of our living room with a dedicated feline right-of-way. Project completed on-time & under-budget thanks to unexpected West Elm sale.  #LeapDay

  • Anatomy of a Suicide

    Congrats @jotomato on your amazing @atlantictheater debut in Anatomy of a Suicide! Friends, see this play before it closes on 3/15. You won’t regret — or forget — it.

  • Real Top Gun

    Call sign: ChanManAircraft: F-14 Super TomcatPayload: wife’s purse

  • Thank You AB

    Thank you Andy Byford for the most inspiring, challenging, fun 2 years of my MTA career so far. You showed NYC that a far better transit system (and transit agency) is possible & empowered us all to make it a reality. Congrats to the next lucky metro system that gets you!

  • Subway Love

    Subway Love has its ups and downs but like every great relationship it’s there for you 24/7 (except for occasional & necessary Planned Work). ❤️🚇

  • Farewell R-42

    Last run of the mighty R-42 train! Thank you for your 50+ years of service to NYC.

  • If you can design one thing

    Sunday subway inspiration & reading

  • I saw the sign (and purchased it)

    Life goal: subway sign for apartment ✅

  • Hate has no place in our transit system

    So very proud of MTA’s new anti-hate crime campaign, which launched today at Grand Central. Look for the digital messages throughout the system. And most importantly let’s look out for each other, New York.

  • 70 Mulberry St

    Extremely sad to see the aftermath of the 70 Mulberry St fire while in Chinatown for Lunar New Year. Please consider donating to MOCA, Chen Dance Center, and the other orgs affected.

  • You need a cat

    Every day is Caturday when you have a cat. #adopt

  • Have you any bricks to declare

    At CPH, there’s a special security screening for undeclared LEGOs.

  • Feskekôrka

    Worshiping at Feskekôrka, the Fish Church.

  • Lund Life

    Sign of an advanced civilization: lots of bike parking at the train station

  • In Göteborgs

    Say hej hej to our little friend

  • Göteborgs Centralstation

    Who run the world? Transport girls, of course.

  • Pay your fare and watch cat videos

    Extremely proud of this new campaign — and not just because it involves cats. OMNY will make using MTA way easier, so I hope these messages will encourage people to try it (or at least smile).

  • Your cat needs adventures

    Why should dogs have all the fun? For a happier cat, take ‘em for walks. #adventurecats

  • Happy New Year 2020

    HAPPY NEW YEAR! Wishing you all a joyous 2020.

  • Work in Progress

    This is either the laziest architectural rendering in history or the most terrifying apartment tower ever

  • Have it our way or no way

    Although I‘m a stickler for good customer service, I also love when a restaurant basically says “go eat somewhere else” (Hot Melody Resturant, Atlanta)

  • AirTrain JFK

    Have always loved the elegant AirTrain logo even though I describe it as “plane pooping out tracks” to those who have never seen it.

  • Typeset in the Future

  • Mugging for the camera

  • The Spinner

    Kinda sad that all the toys I wanted as a kid didn’t actually exist until I became an adult. But happy I finally got a #bladerunnerspinner, even if it’s actually an Xmas ornament.

  • CAT Phase 1

    Excited to announce the opening of Cat Aerial Transit (CAT) Phase 1. A future extension that allows for travel to the other side of the living room is planned for completion by early 2020. #catshelves

  • Max the Genius

    Behold this awesome Rushmore postcard my brother sent me ages ago. In Japan the title was “Tensai Max No Sekai” or “The World of Max the Genius.”
