Plans to Speed Up Buses Slowed as New York City Gets Set to Reopen

Hiram Alejandro Durán/THE CITY The MTA’s signature plan to revamp bus routes has been stuck in the slow lane for over a year because of the pandemic delaying long-planned efforts to speed up rides as the city begins reopening. Agency officials say the citywide bus network redesign which launched on Staten Island Express routes in 2018 will eventually resume, though the MTA could not specify an exact timetable. While Staten Island’s overhaul was completed nearly three years ago, The Bronx’s redesign was just about to hit the streets when COVID slammed the brakes. The MTA had started public outreach on its Queens plan, while Brooklyn’s redesign was in a preliminary phase. Manhattan will be the last borough to have its bus routes reimagined.

As Ridership Ticks Up On Subways, Some Asian New Yorkers Still Fear For Their Safety arrow Commuters on the M train on March 7, 2021 Mary Altaffer/AP/Shutterstock The NYC subway system is arguably the most unnerving public place that Asian New Yorkers are forced to navigate during this period of rising bias attacks against Asians in the city. At times desolate due to a pandemic drop in ridership, the subway can feel at once confining and indifferent, a place where bystanders minding their own business may seem even less inclined to get involved in stopping an unprovoked attack. In recent months, Asian New Yorkers have been slashed and nearly pushed into oncoming trains.

Lawsuit Against MTA Over Accessibility Attains Class-Action Status With More Than 500,000 Plaintiffs

arrow Katherine Valdez uses a wheelchair to commute from her home in Briarwood, Queens, to work in Long Island City. Amy Pearl / Gothamist A State Supreme Court Judge ruled this week that a lawsuit filed against the MTA on behalf of a coalition of accessibility rights advocates does, in fact, represent a class of more than 500,000 people who claim they’ve been excluded from the subway system because of a lack of accessibility. The 2017 lawsuit claims that because only 20% of the subway system has elevators, the MTA is in violation of the Americans with Disability Act and the New York City Human Rights Law.
