‘Next Stop’: Mamdani, Hochul roll out plan to cut NYC bus trips by 6 minutes on 50 ‘priority routes’

Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Gov. Kathy Hochul, the city Department of Transportation and the MTA have unveiled a proposal for making the city’s buses run 20% faster along 50 “priority corridors” — a change they say could save riders up to six minutes on trips along those routes.

They also pitched building five “rapid bus corridors,” bus rapid transit-style routes equipped with infrastructure that allows the vehicles to move quickly and with neighborhood bus stations, across the city.
