It Makes No Sense you may as well Speed up the Bus the Problem with Bus Drivers These Days now either they are Driving too Slow or two Fast I noticed when I am taking the Buses in Staten island to the Staten island Ferry I usually miss my Ferry to Manhattan now have to wait 30 Minutes for another Ferry because the Bus Driver Was way to Slow and there many Bus Stops
I'd love the MTA to consider using more proof of payment fares like they have on the select bus services. Paying while waiting at the stop rather than on the bus saves a ton of time on busy routes, especially when those routes are operated with articulated buses with 3 doors which could be used for loading.
This is why the MTA is my Number One favorite thing. Because they help NYC get moving and get to their destination safely. This is a amazing thing! Keep it up MTA!
Why don't the Bx1 and Bx2 routes have WiFI buses as the Bx12, Bx36, and Bx41? These routes pass numerous hospitals and medical facilities that many riders using a wheelchair or walker need wifi also.

They really didn’t get the shaft. Much of Western Bronx is all good. The only way they would’ve gotten the shaft is if the Bx18 route were eliminated entirely, which was the only other option they had. Besides, University Avenue ridership from Undercliff is pretty low compared to the 170th Street ridership and new direct access to the 170th Street station is a big improvement. All Western Bronx route changes are fine and have received positive acclaim. Still I feel like more could’ve been done, including combining the Bx3 and Bx13, with Bx35 service into Manhattan increases to compensate. Extending the Bx18 back to Webster Avenue could also increase the viability of the new Highbridge-Morris Heights loop by providing a connection to the Bx41 SBS. And that route could also be extended over the Triboro Bridge to LaGuardia Airport.
People wanting to reach co-op city from Pelham bay station got hit big time. The q50 will stop going to co-op after 7pm and the bx29 doesn't go to co-op anymore.

@@adamfox9651 Not me. You must be talking about a different Jeremiah, because I’m not MTA mouthpiece with lane excuses for some service changes. However in my own views, while some of the service changes are good, especially the South Bronx crosstown changes that nearly everyone likes (I.e, the Bx36 changes), there could’ve been some improvements. For a starter, I do feel that there could’ve been a compromise for the Bx28 and Bx34 changes, namely having the Bx28 change via Bedford Park Blvd go through and keeping the Bx34 route the same, but extending the Bx10 from Norwood-205th Street station to Fordham Plaza via 204th and Webster Avenue (where the Bx34 was supposed to run). This would once more connect Riverdale and Spuyten Duyvil to Fordham Plaza. For Co-op City, bus service should’ve been consolidated to some extent while retaining access inside and to/from the area. Specifically have the Bx23 loop around all the sectors like usually, and have a revamped Bx38 serve all the sections, and then run non-stop on the Bx28 route to every subway station to the Bedford Park Blvd station on the 4 train (stopping only at those subway stations). A similar route (branded Bx25) would operate from Bay Plaza and through Sections 1, 2, and 3, and also run non-stop to each subway station to the Bedford Park Blvd station on the 4 train. Both the Bx26 and Bx28 would continue to operate only to Asch Loop and Sections 4 and 5 (with the Bx25 and Bx38 being non-stop feeders to the subway). The Bx30 would remain largely unchanged in Co-op City.
@@graceghazaii4434 How so? The Bx36 is still goes to the same destinations but on a faster route than the old meandering segment via two crosstown streets and Boston Road. Not to mention that 174th Street still has the Bx11, which also goes to the same Manhattan destination as the Bx36 and the Bx40 now serves East 180th Street. If anything, Bx36 riders riders who still needs service to either street can walk from Tremont. No big issue, but thousands of people really benefit from changing the South Bronx routes. These changes should not be reversed ASAP, but rather kept and expanded on. For a starter, we can make a Bx40 a limited stop service to benefit East 180th Street riders. Exclusive busway on Tremont Avenue is also a huge welcome for these riders as well. Then we can expand the Bx11, which provides a needed connection between Morrisania and Southeast Bronx by extending it further along past Parkchester.
Did they do something with the terrible bx 28, 30 and 38, which actually forced me to use the more reliable bx26? For Mosholu Norwood to Coop City. This got worse when they added the 38!
@@coolboss999 Well isn’t the Bx28 and Bx38 enough to cover for the loss of the Bx30? The Bx30 is still going to the White Plains Road Line anyway so it’s not like they need more buses over there aside from what the Bx28 and Bx38 are dealing with.
That’s coming up after Queens and boy do they have their work cut out for them. Just looking at the map shows a whole bunch of service gaps that exist and discourage people from using transit.
The Bx29 no longer services Co-op City. The old Appleby's stop within the Bay Plaza Shopping Center needs to be added to the Bx23-54321 route to accommodate Section 5 riders.

I TRIED TO USE MTA BUS TIME APP AND NOW MY LOCAL STOP HAS BEEN REMOVED! THIS NEW SERVICE TOOK AWAY ANY LOCAL STOPS.

THE PEOPLE WHO DID THIS CANT POSSIBLY LIVE WHERE WE LIVE AND I DOUBT IF THEY TAKE THE BUS IF THEY DID !! HOW DOES THIS HELP US??? THIS IS NOT A HEALTHY SOLUTION!
I’m pretty sure that the MTA planners involved in the Bronx live in the borough. Besides, the new bus stop shouldn’t be that far from your old stop, which had very low ridership. Also, this helps you with faster commutes and more improved service, with the benefits more pronounced in the Southern Bronx.
Biggest problem is now some people gonna have to use 2 rides in 1 morning. I take the BX15 to Manhattan 6th Ave to take the M7 to work. Now i have to Transfer to the M125 THEN SWIPE again for the M7. 3 buses a morning commute because the trains aren't reliable early morning. I love the redesigns but this will impede my travel time most definitely. Especially since I can only afford to miss 1 M7 bus.
@@TheRailLeaguer ik but that's another fair where we didn't have that issue with the old BX15 LTD service is what I'm saying. There is no crosstown bus service where I live to where I can strictly take 2 buses bro. Trust me
@@nyckae8587 Or you can maybe use the subway. Even with the early morning service taking the train would still be faster than dealing with the buses. Besides, the ridership going through The Hub and into Manhattan on the Bx15 seems to be pretty low.
@@TheRailLeaguer would've loved them adding a Express route on 3rd ave into Manhattan that would be fuckin immaculate. Labeled "BxM15" 23rd st to like....idk somewhere. But it's doable too.
They should implement a crosstown bus from the West Bronx into East Harlem. So riders do not have to rely on the “always under construction” 4 train 🙄.
A route like that would’ve not been an effective use of resources for both bus and subway riders, especially since the M125 already serves East Harlem and several West Bronx bus routes travel into Manhattan’s Washington Heights neighborhood. All bus network redesigns are designed with subway and rail connectivity in mind.
@@mtafan1878 The redesign of the Bx18 route is to not only provide a new direct access to the 170th Street stations on both the Concourse and Jerome Avenue Subway lines, but it is to also replace Bx11 service on 168th Street. As part of the redesign, the Bx11 was moved off of 168th Street to provide quicker service between Manhattan and the Bronx. That route also now goes to Parkchester, replacing Bx36 bus service there. Combined with the 181st Street busway, these changes make travel between Southeast Bronx and Upper Manhattan, something that retaining the current Bx11 routing via 168th Street would be unable to do. Thus to maintain service coverage, the Bx18 is now a loop route operating along 168th Street as well, eliminating that weird turn the bus made going from Undercliff Avenue to Sedgwick Avenue, a route used by very few riders. The only other option they had was to eliminate the Bx18 route entirely, a move that would’ve been disastrous for Western Bronx residents.
They cut off the longest route in the city of Boroughs I can't Believe they cut off the bx15 Now it's replaced by the m125 which stands for 125th street
No borough is a test dummy. They just happened to be second on the list for a redesign of the bus network (first was Staten Island Express). Besides, other cities get to redesign their bus networks, so why can’t NYC?
@@TheRailLeaguer Um... Because it’s part of the Bronx. And the Sheridan Expressway I-895 is the Bronx and it helped reduce traffic in the Bronx especially the congestion on I-95 the CBE and the I-278 Bruckner as well as the I-87 Major Deegan and the Bronx River Parkway.
@@TheRailLeaguer Yeah I know. But the NYC Department of Transportation should bring back I-895 and Governor Hochul should reverse the changes that Cuomo did when he removed the Sheridan Expressway in 2018. Hopefully Kathy Hochul will revive I-895 and consider extending the Sheridan Expressway to either Southern Westchester County or the North Bronx to end at I-95 and provide a faster route from New England to Long Island for cars and trucks.
@@mattycooldude6462 That’s still not an MTA issue and it should not be addressed here (though honestly the old street grid that existed before the Sheridan was built should be restored).
Street cars would require laying tack, and still have to deal with the same traffic issues buses have to deal with. Buses can use current infrastructure, are significantly cheaper than street cars, and are highly flexible. Many of the features and benefits of street cars can be enacted using buses in dedicated bus ways. For example, until 2019, Ottawa, ON, Canada had world class bus rapid Transit system. Their dedicated Transitways allowed buses to serve the suburbs and bring riders to the city's core with little traffic disruptions. Quebec City, QC features a 4 tier system of local buses, suburban Express buses, Métrobuses, and late night services. All buses utilize dedicated bus lanes at various points of their routes. The Québécois respect the bus lane restrictions, allowing the buses to provide rapid service throughout the city.
I’m not happy with this useless project, MTA needs to put more attention in queens, the Bronx has gotten to much attention, they’re getting service improvements every year
@@vfmc I’m not talking about bus redesigning, I was talking about other projects that should be implemented in queens subway lines, like station renewals, new elevators, etc. just look at how bad the 7 line stations are in queens, MTA hasn’t done anything to renovate those stations, compare this to the 2,4,5,6 lines stations in the Bronx, they have renewed stations🙄the Bronx has gotten enough attention, this bus redesign could wait for another 5 years

Street cars would require laying tack, and still have to deal with the same traffic issues buses have to deal with.
Buses can use current infrastructure, are significantly cheaper than street cars, and are highly flexible.
Many of the features and benefits of street cars can be enacted using buses in dedicated bus ways. For example, until 2019, Ottawa, ON, Canada had world class bus rapid Transit system. Their dedicated Transitways allowed buses to serve the suburbs and bring riders to the city's core with little traffic disruptions.
Quebec City, QC features a 4 tier system of local buses, suburban Express buses, Métrobuses, and late night services. All buses utilize dedicated bus lanes at various points of their routes. The Québécois respect the bus lane restrictions, allowing the buses to provide rapid service throughout the city.
@@Maunico0809 Not everyone can take the subway, people can be far away from stations
That's a thing of the past, so not happening. It would be too expensive and too much time, plus nyc is a densely populated area.
Excellent. People in the Bronx will love the new Bus routes. 😁👏👏👏👏👏🚍
I’m not happy with this useless project, MTA needs to put more attention in queens, the Bronx has gotten to much attention, they’re getting service improvements every year
@@nyctransitrailfan they are planning to do this exact thing but in queens lol have you been living under a rock
@@vfmc I agree with you! : )
@@nyctransitrailfan The MTA construction and development team will fixed on it soon in Queens. You have to be patient. : )
@@vfmc I’m not talking about bus redesigning, I was talking about other projects that should be implemented in queens subway lines, like station renewals, new elevators, etc. just look at how bad the 7 line stations are in queens, MTA hasn’t done anything to renovate those stations, compare this to the 2,4,5,6 lines stations in the Bronx, they have renewed stations🙄the Bronx has gotten enough attention, this bus redesign could wait for another 5 years
