Hochul Tackles Fare Evasion, NYC City Council Considers Pedicab Laws, and Indie-rock Festival Promotes Activism

New York Governor Kathy Hochul is tackling fare evasion on the subway. WFUV’s Mia Barth has more on the rollout of new subway gates. The New York City council is considering changes to pedicab laws. In a hearing, the council reviewed multiple bills that would prevent overcharging, end disruptive music near Broadway theaters, and require drivers to set fixed prices per minute. An all-women music festival took over Bowery Ballroom last weekend. WFUV’s Livia Regina brings us to Girl Noise to see how the festival unites music and activism.
