NYC is planning an ambitious project - roughly 6.5 miles (about 10 km) of BRT in Brooklyn along Flatbush Avenue. On top of that, changes are planned for other corridors too. It’s really interesting to see America’s largest metropolis siding with public transit.

Check out what’s going on at Victory Boulevard in Staten Island. A resident sued DOT to remove NYC’s newest bus lane, backed by the Borough President and a state senator - they want the parking back. The lane only runs 7 hours a day on weekdays, and the rest of the time it’s still a parking spot.

A ferry to LaGuardia. This idea was seriously considered a few years ago. By some estimates, you could get from Wall Street to the airport in about 45 minutes. Of course, this wouldn’t replace buses - just an additional option. What do you think - how realistic is this idea?

Today I came across a real ghost bus. The B110 exists, but finding information about its stops, headways, or even the fare feels like solving a mystery.

A couple days ago, a B11 bus driver was waiting at the end of the line when the emergency/SOS signal was activated - most likely by accident 🤷 That’s actually the first time I’ve ever seen a message like that.
