Assembly Member David Weprin joined Queens Borough President Melinda Katz on Friday morning April 5, 2019 for a meeting with MTA New York City Transit President Andy Byford and other Queens elected officials.
This meeting served as the Queens Bus Network Redesign kickoff briefing. NYC Transit President Andy Byford described his plan as an outline to “reinvent and reimagine” bus service in New York City for generations to come.
The new design for bus service in Queens will include a revaluation of the designs of every bus route, all-door bus boarding more dedicated space for buses on city streets, and better traffic enforcement to keep the buses moving. Byford further announced , “our buses are the key to a responsive system that serves every corner of the 5 boroughs.”
The Jewish Voice will keep readers informed with details of the new design plans when they are made public.
