The newly completed 96th Street redesign features added bus lanes and pedestrian safety measures, aimed at improving bus speed and reliability for over 15,500 daily riders.
DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez highlighted that buses on 96th Street previously averaged speeds of just four miles per hour, hindering travel for New Yorkers.
The addition of dedicated lanes is expected to significantly enhance commuting speed, especially during peak hours when bus speeds can match that of walking.
The redesigned route connects vital locations such as Central Park and several subway lines, promoting greater use of public transport among New Yorkers.
