Meanwhile, The White House says Andy Byford AKA “Train Daddy”, who ran the city's subways and buses from 2018 until early 2020, has been tapped by President Trump to lead the redevelopment of Penn Station. Also, the city will deploy drones with life-saving equipment and speakers to assist lifeguards at public beaches this summer.
