Summary
New York state and city officials unveiled the “Next Stop: Fast Buses, Better Service” initiative, targeting faster service on about 50 priority bus routes.
Up to 6 minutes could be cut from riders’ trips under the plan, which centers on dedicated bus lanes and traffic signals that give buses priority.
The initiative also calls for expanded all-door boarding, newer buses and added amenities as officials try to improve both speed and overall service quality.
