New York governor Andrew Cuomo probably thought he had a lay up when he posted a quick tweet bragging about Audi’s autonomous vehicles hitting the highways of New York.

Twitter users, however, had a different set of priorities for Cuomo to focus on. Maybe, say, preventing disasters like the F train from hell that traumatized New Yorkers last week.

FIX THE SUBWAY — Amanda Duarte (@duarteamanda) June 13, 2017

Cool.... Our public transportation system is broken and you're doing nothing — eve peyser (@evepeyser) June 14, 2017

How about you fix a car that needs a driver...that hauls 100s of people at a time? It's called a subway car. Have you ever been in one? — Steve Reynolds (@reynoldstop20) June 14, 2017

a major milestone for all New Yorkers would be you actually caring about the subways — Max RN (@MaxRivlinNadler) June 14, 2017

Wow, I am so looking forward to Audi's new subway cars — [howling into void] (@jamesfacts) June 14, 2017

just brainstorming here but... WHAT IF YOU FIXED THE SUBWAY BRUH — George Mcaneny (@NYCSPEAKERRACE) June 14, 2017

Does every New Yorker get one since you refuse to fix our public transit system? — Emily Egan (@ehschubegan) June 14, 2017

After looking through the more-than-100 replies for anything besides variations on “fix the subway,” this is the best I could find:

Not to mention the dangerous condition of train tracks and bridges across NYS.



Fix your Twitter. — B (@Delerted) June 14, 2017

To be fair, Cuomo has shown quite a bit of love to bridges and tunnels — he took $500 million intended for subways, buses, and trains run by the MTA and instead used it to install cashless tollbooths on NYC’s bridges. He’s also spending an unknown amount from the MTA’s capital plan on installing colorful, choreographed LED lighting on the seven bridges controlled by the MTA. “You’ll have bridges all across the New York City area that are choreographed,” said Cuomo at the beginning of this year. “Nothing like this has been done on the planet.”

Sadly, those pretty lights will be hidden from view for anyone stuck underground in New York City’s rapidly decaying transit system.
