The annual 'Man vs. Machine' race revealed that pedestrians completed the 1.2-mile route faster than the 34th Street crosstown bus. This race coincided with the approval of a car-free busway on 34th Street, signaling a shift in transit strategy. Local politicians expressed optimism about the busway, emphasizing its potential to improve commute times and enhance public spaces. Concerns over the current slowness of buses were voiced, highlighting the need for better transit solutions in Midtown.
These are the slowest buses in the United States of America. And what it behooves us to do is to leave that statistic in the past.
A busway on 34th Street will not only speed up thousands of commutes but transform the corridor into a vibrant public space for all.
