""Time is money, and too often, our city has taken both from working people who rely on our buses. These center-running bus lanes will give New Yorkers back something precious: time with their families, time at work, time in their communities.""
""It can often be as fast to walk as it is to take a bus on Flatbush Avenue and with over 100,000 riders relying on the bus to get around, that must change.""
""I usually give myself about three extra hours on these buses. Today I couldn't, and yeah, it's backed up for rush hour.""
""It's ultimately a good thing [to add bus lanes]. I'm sure it'll be inconvenient for a while, but if the benefits are realized, it will be worth it.""
Construction on Flatbush Avenue will begin in late April, focusing on center-running bus lanes to improve bus speed and safety for 132,000 daily riders. The project includes dedicated loading zones, safety upgrades, and new pedestrian space. City officials expect significant reductions in travel times, as similar projects have shown positive results. The construction will occur in four phases to minimize traffic disruption. Commuters have expressed support for the changes, citing long wait times and delays on the current bus routes.
