The NYCT, NYCDOT, NYPD and the New York State Legislature need to work together to renew and expand the bus lane camera program to ensure speedy bus travel to help alleviate the inevitable pressures that will come with the L train shutdown.
A successful congestion pricing plan will decrease vehicles on Manhattan’s heavily clogged streets and substantially improve bus speeds and reliability, allowing the bus system to flourish.
