MTA to Launch Bus “Network Redesign”

By: BZ Green

The Metropolitan Transit Authority is taking a look at the bus service in an effort to improve it borough by borough. 

“This project is part of our larger effort to modernize New York City’s bus network and improve bus service borough by borough. We are taking a fresh look at the bus network, with the goal of meeting customers’ priorities: frequent service, faster travel, reliable service, better connections, and an easy ride,” said a statement by the MTA. 

As part of this initiative, the MTA will be holding a series of virtual meetings on a neighborhood-by-neighborhood basis to hear from locals about what they would like to see in an improved system. 

The hearing for the Boro Park neighborhood will take place on February 16th.
