Meet the 2024 Miss Subways Emcee & Judges đź‘‘
This year's Miss Subways emcee and judges come from the worlds of performance, comedy, advocacy, journalism, and local politics. They’re the artists who help make and keep NYC a cultural hotspot, our local elected officials and transit activists who fight for a fairer system, and the voice of our daily commute. We're honored and thrilled to work with them.
