#MTA #NYCTransit

After last year’s historic #6MinuteService subway service expansion, bus riders are now getting a badly needed boost in service. Over the weekend, Governor Hochul and state legislators passed a budget that includes $12.3 million for increased frequency across 13 bus routes!
Unfortunately, the budget also cut funding for MTA's free bus pilot, which included one fare-free bus in every borough, an initiative which legislators had been actively working to expand. In its first year, this program proved to be quite popular with riders and demonstrated great potential for building ridership by re-envisioning bus service around rider needs.
