I was wondering if there was more to the story. Like, maybe he has a disability and NYC doesn't have an exemption for disabilities. They do, however, have an exemption for disabilities as well as a reduced rate for low income residents. To me it sounds like this guy is just lazy.
Looking at this on Google Maps, he can get anywhere on 76th St using one bus or subway ride and a 5-10 minute walk.
Zero sympathy.
Wow, I can't believe you'd suggest subjecting this poor man to something as horrible as being forced to use a public bus.
Reminds me of the time I worked at the Sears repair call center... A woman who lived on the island of Nantucket needed her washing machine repaired - Sears only went out there two days a week, and they were booked for a couple weeks, so of course she asked "what am I supposed to do until then?" I suggested a laundromat. "Have you seen the kind of people who go to the laundromat?" I said "yup, I'm there once a week." Was quite proud of myself, usually I don't think of the perfect response until minutes later...
"Ahh, the old number 22. Clean, reliable public transportation. The chariot of the people. The ride of choice for the poor and very poor alike!"
I found Area 51!!

Colombia has really been doing great stuff in their cities
Bedbug bus? :p
