The MTA's proposed bus network redesign for Queens includes the introduction of rush routes aimed at speeding up commutes for residents in transit-challenged areas. The plan, if approved, will allocate $35 million to create 25 new bus lines that will operate similarly to subway express services. This initiative is expected to greatly benefit the over 800,000 daily bus riders by improving access to major job centers and enhancing connectivity to the subway and other rail services. Full implementation is anticipated by Labor Day.
One of the great aspects of this network in eastern Queens is rush routes—a new type of route we have not had before in this city.
The swift service would be a game changer for many Queens straphangers, especially those with two-step commutes, connecting them directly to the subway.
During its monthly meeting, the MTA touted a series of rush routes aiming to speed up commutes for bus riders living in neighborhoods with limited access.
The proposed $35 million network overhaul aims to enhance commuting efficiency for over 800,000 daily bus riders in Queens.
