In one car you have a somewhat drunk man trying to chat with @NYCMayor, another person yelling at him and someone else sleeping on the train. pic.twitter.com/8wixgJcT1I

The first Executive Order will continue the existing state of emergency orders put in place by the previous administration.

The second order will extend the Key to the City order, which requires proof of vaccination for several indoor settings. pic.twitter.com/hQZOB6cEd0

Our focus in the weeks and months ahead will be on beating back the #Omicron surge and putting our city on a path toward an equitable recovery. We'll work day in and day out to get that done.

Good luck Mayor Adams! 

UPDATE 1/2/22 - The second day:

Yesterday, Adams took the subway. Today, he bikes @CitiBikeNYC. Hopefully soon, he’ll use the Roosevelt Island tram!

But seriously, if he rides public transit continuously—and doesn’t hide in an SUV—it will help him stay in touch with New Yorkers. And it shows a love for NYC. https://t.co/Y4iWasFE6s
