Bay Ridge editor’s nightmare train ride wins him Worst Commute award
A Bay Ridge editor who recently endured a pair of nightmarish two-hour-long commutes home on the city’s transit system on successive nights has been named the winner of the Worst Commute Award by the advocacy group Riders Alliance.
Henry Stewart, editor of Opera News, will be given a chocolate MetroCard as a prize, according to the Riders Alliance, which instituted the Worst Commute contest last month to bring attention to the plight of subway and bus riders.
Each week, a winner is selected from among contestants who write to the Riders Alliance and describe a terrible experience on a bus or subway train.
