NYCTRC will host the Bus Forum at Queens Borough Hall

This year’s Bus Forum will be held in Queens.  Bus riders will have the opportunity to ask senior management questions on Wednesday, June 18th, from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM, at Queens Borough Hall.  The Forum is particularly timely due to the recent MTA announcement for plans to begin integrating the operations of its three bus companies to create a more seamless and efficient regional bus operation. New York City Transit Bus, MTA Bus and Long Island Bus will each maintain its individual identity and funding, but Joseph Smith, Senior Vice President for Buses, NYC Transit, will oversee the new operation, maintaining his current title and assuming the presidency of both MTA Bus and Long Island Bus.  Mr. Smith and representatives of MTA Bus and Long Island Bus will be guests of NYCTRC at the Forum.
