Photo of the Day: Rapid Transit of a Different Kind

Okay, okay…Sort of rapid transit. If this conveyance has the light in its favor. If traffic is light. If you don’t have anywhere particularly far to go. And if time isn’t really a factor in your plans, since you’re in this back seat with the one you love and you can take in the Big Apple in all its charms.

I don’t know if this is the result of Mayor Mike Bloomberg and his transportation commissioner, but I’m seeing more and more of these vehicles around Times Square in the last year or so. Wouldn’t you know it—Woody Allen, for all effects and purposes, stops filming in New York at just the point when one of these contraptions might have provided the kind of picturesque scene he used to put in such cinematic valentines to Gotham as Hannah and Her Sisters and, of course, Manhattan.
