"In a city where time is money, too many New Yorkers have seen their precious time treated with casual disdain. The mayor gets firsthand how important fast buses are to New Yorkers' livelihoods and dignity."
"To meet the challenge ahead, we need a whole-of-government approach to fixing our slowest-in-the-nation buses. The task is urgent. Rising rents are pushing workers to the limits of the city, far beyond the subway's reach."
"Riders need more than just a bus plan or map of improvements along specific corridors. We need an entire Streets Plan devoted to the mayor's vision of a city where buses are genuinely fast and where riders save lots of valuable time."
Riding the bus to visit family highlights the importance of efficient public transport in New York City. Mayor Mamdani acknowledges the significance of fast buses for residents' time and dignity. His commitment to improving bus speeds has faced challenges, with promises shifting from 'at least' to 'up to' 20 percent faster. A comprehensive Streets Plan is needed to address the slowest bus services, as rising rents push workers further from subway access. Achieving faster buses is crucial for enhancing the quality of life for New Yorkers.
