According to an analysis by Streetsblog, New York City is on track to build just seven miles of bus lanes by the end of this year, which is far below the 30-mile goal set by the Transportation Department.
Transportation Department officials interviewed indicated that the estimate for the actual bus lane mileage could be even lower than seven miles, highlighting a significant shortfall in the city's transit plan.
It's crucial to recognize how leadership decisions affect transit initiatives. Especially notable is the mayor's chief advisor, who claims to avoid public transit, potentially influencing overall policy direction.
Business owners like Peter Madonia continue to push back against alternative transit methods, despite a lack of evidence that supports his claims about customer travel origins, which remain unfounded according to transportation data.
