Mayoral candidate Brad Lander, currently NYC comptroller, proposes reviving Select Bus Service (SBS) to enhance transit efficiency by adding routes and encouraging inter-borough connections. SBS combines various elements like off-board fare payment and designated bus lanes for faster trips, with average speeds reaching 9.2 mph. Following former Gov. Cuomo's 2018 funding cuts, Lander aims to restore these vital services. His report stresses collaboration between MTA and NYC DOT to implement previously proposed routes, ensuring the revitalization of public transportation options for New Yorkers, specifically targeting routes like Brooklyn-Queens and improvements to current bus lanes.
Lander emphasized that the revival of SBS is crucial for enhancing public transit efficiency, addressing the needs of hundreds of thousands of bus riders left stranded by funding cuts.
The new Select Bus Service routes aim to create faster, more reliable connections across boroughs, ensuring improved transit access and encouraging public transportation usage.
