The Riders and the Rebirth of City Transit The Straphangers Campaign is marking its 25th years with an exhibit recounting transit rider advocacy campaigns since the 1970s at the Municipal Art Society in Manhattan. The exhibit emphasizes the impact riders have had along with the NYPIRG Straphangers Campaign, other civic and advocacy groups and transit officials to win improvements on New York City buses and subways. It features subway ads, videotapes, leaflets and news articles that focus on past and current efforts to keep fares affordable, protect free speech on the subway, rebuild the system and more. The exhibit allows riders to share their views on current issues. It runs from September 8th to October 30th. For more information, see the calendar or visit www.straphangers.org.
