Council Member Phil Wong has filed a Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) request seeking internal Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) records after receiving complaints that residents and commuters say include “overcrowded buses, long waits, and inadequate express bus service,” according to a press release.
Wong joined Queens Borough President Donovan Richards, state Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr., and Assemblymembers Andrew Hevesi and Jenifer Rajkumar in calling on the MTA to address overcrowding on the QM25, QM34, and surrounding express bus routes serving Central Queens, as reported by the Queens Chronicle earlier this year.
