Following the implementation of congestion pricing in New York City, bus speeds have increased due to reduced traffic. MTA officials report noticeable improvements at key crossings into Manhattan, with some bus lines experiencing reductions in travel time by as much as ten minutes. This increase in bus speeds has not only aided city buses but has also positively affected coach services in surrounding counties. The MTA is adjusting schedules as buses now often exceed their posted times, prompting discussions about potential changes to operational practices to maintain service efficiency amidst the congestion relief benefits.
Every single crossing that gets into Manhattan has seen an improvement, some lines as much as seven to 10 minutes improved speeds.
Buses are moving faster in and around New York City ever since congestion pricing kicked in, according to transit officials.
They're saying, 'Yeah, buses are moving quickly.' They're actually getting more customers and people are happy.
Within the city, buses now operate faster than their posted schedules due to lower car traffic in the congestion relief zone.
