Pokey Award

M23pokey

My very own crosstown bus, the M23 which runs across 23rd st. has won this year's Pokey Award for the slowest bus in New York City. How slow is slow? 4 miles per hour at noon on a weekday. As a base of comparison, people (like you and me) walk at 3 miles per hour and The Post points out that chickens speed along at a whopping 9mph...more than twice the pokey M23.

Crosstown traffic
All you do is slow me down
And I got better things on the other side of town.
