nytimes.com - The well-dressed visitors had been at it for several minutes now, treating a semicaptive audience at the south end of an R train car to firm handshakes, a stack of fliers and a filibuster on the gas tax from New York’s senior senator.
“Is this your stop?” the senator, Charles E. Schumer, asked, as a woman rose to leave somewhere west of DeKalb Avenue.
She walked toward the doors but did not get off right away.
For about 20 minutes of the Thursday morning rush, Mr. Schumer and Mayor Bill de Blasio chatted with sporadically interested New York City subway riders as part of a national Stand Up for Transportation Day, urging Congress to increase transportation funding.
