We have to reduce the amount of cars within the city by a lot. Makes the bus service much better and gives more space to people while also making it even safer. Cars are what cause accidents and traffic. They're very inefficient too for just carrying one person majority of the time.
Never going to give up a car for poor and unsafe public transportation. The MTA and city have to do better. Why would anyone choose to ride with inconsiderate people who blast their music and/or smoke on trains/buses over riding in their own vehicles?
No personal vehicles on Fordham Road in the Bronx. This is for buses, commerical vehicles, and emergency vehicles only. Don't let these nimbys stop you.
We need to see an expansion of busways extending more than five miles as opposed to a single street. Ideally, ban all cars, heh. Buses are just as important than trains. We can't have a train-or-bust mentality.
The ban all cars mentality is what ruins good plans. And cars are still a tool that serve a purpose. Even in The Netherlands for example, where most people bike or take transit, they still own a LOT of cars compared to other European countries that are less cycling and transit-friendly. They just don't use cars for every single trip, but rather only when necessary. NYC gives you options but they all suck. Public transit coverage outside of Manhattan is mostly terrible. While we should improve bus travel, trains should still be the priority. Trains can go longer distances more quickly, and with more people. Buses are more suited for last mile travel, getting people to/from train stations, or servicing less popular areas where a train line might not be built. But in the meantime since we won't be getting more train lines for decades, busways are our best option, sadly.

Ok this seems more for urbanists than the shorts which was for drivers
Cagers have shorter attention spans.
Motorists have no brain, so... take transit, stop congesting our streets.
Great video, MTA.

This is definitely a new way to grab an attention to all cars to never ever drive on bus lanes. MTA, you done great. 👍🏿😀
All drivers will pay a fined if you go through bus lanes.
Right. @@durece100
MTA should paint bus stops where busses pick up and drop off passengers too because I see cars parked there all the time
Yes they recently a started punishing people, parking or occupying bus lanes in DC and NYC so that has been better
Would tremont ave get a bus lane soon?
What does the black and white numbers on the glass of the New York buses mean?

*In.
So it’s like busways are tracks for busses?
It's not just for buses. It's also for commercial vehicles, Emergency Vehicles, and regular cars / taxis can use them for about 1-2 blocks.
@@aqua2poweros699 oh okay, I got it
@@aqua2poweros699 Why Regular cars? Personal vehicles aren't allowed in bus lanes.
@@durece100 Personal vehicles can use the bus lane for a right turn. (same thing with busways except what I said before)
They should stop bus lanes and ticketing drivers it’s not fair
It's very fair. Why hold up a bus full of people all for a few cars carrying very few people but causing all the traffic?
@@sometwo7429exactly! Someone with common sense glad to see it!
Buses are accessible for everyone, cars are not.
