NYC sent a warming bus to a hub for homelessness. Those who needed it had no idea.

WNYC News | Feb 4

Mayor Zohran Mamdani has said he’s dispatching 20 “warming buses” around New York City, where homeless people can eat sandwiches and escape the elements as the dangerously cold weather continues.

On a recent night at the Staten Island Ferry Terminal, the flaws in that plan were laid bare. No one in the terminal — including homeless people, an NYPD officer and terminal employees — knew two warming buses were parked outside.
