The Department of Transportation expects the new bus lane construction on 96th Street to be completed by the end of 2024, fundamentally changing crosstown commutes for thousands.
DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez emphasized that bus riders deserve reliable service, allowing them to spend less time commuting and more time with loved ones or at important appointments.
The average speeds of the M96 and M106 are significantly lower than the systemwide average, highlighting the urgent need for improvements along 96th Street.
While 74% of residents along 96th Street do not own cars and 68% rely on public transport, some locals are concerned that the residential character of certain areas couldn't accommodate a bus lane.
