Zohran Mamdani: “Bogota moves 40,000 people in an hour on a bus.”

“We have more than a million New Yorkers ride the bus every day. We have the slowest buses in the country. We like to talk about ourselves as the best in the world, But Bogota moves 40,000 people in an hour on a bus. We don't even move 35,000 people in a day. What we're going to do is make buses fast and free. We have eight and a half million people living in New York City.” (00:05–00:10)
