"These center-running bus lanes will give New Yorkers back something precious: time with their families, time at work, time in their communities, Mayor Zohran Mamdani said in a statement."
"Long waits and unreliable service are not inevitable - they are the result of political choices. Today, we are choosing a system that puts bus riders first and builds safer streets for everyone."
"Bus speeds on the street can be as slow as four miles per hour, according to the city. A 2024 survey conducted by the advocacy group Riders Alliance found that 91% of riders experienced delays on Flatbush Avenue in 2023."
The NYC Department of Transportation will continue construction on bus lanes along Flatbush Avenue starting in late April. This project includes center-running bus lanes, concrete islands for riders, new pedestrian space, loading zones, and bike parking. The redesign aims to enhance bus speeds by providing dedicated lanes, monitored by cameras. Mayor Zohran Mamdani emphasized the importance of prioritizing bus riders and creating safer streets. A survey indicated that 91% of riders faced delays on Flatbush Avenue, highlighting the need for this transformation.
