“We’re telling our corporate leaders: ‘Hey, get on the train!’” Adams said in an interview with the Financial Times. “We need to advertise that New York is back.”
Mayor Eric Adams is urging CEOs like JPMorgan’s Jamie Dimon to ride the subway to work as he pushes to bring the city’s workers back to empty office buildings in Manhattan.
“We’re telling our corporate leaders: ‘Hey, get on the train!’” Adams said in an interview with the Financial Times. “We need to advertise that New York is back.” In addition to Dimon, Adams is hitting up the bosses at Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and the real-estate giant Related Companies to “ditch their customary black cars” in favor of the subway, according to the FT.
“We’re going to get him on the train,” Adams said of Dimon. “We’re going to get everyone on the train. He understands the need of getting his people back and leading from the front.”Adams’ comments come as the mayor tries to crack down on a surge in violent crime that is scaring many away from taking public transportation.
