Who knows when it will open too? The windows used to say Spring 2025

That block has also been missing its jersey barriers since November.

What funding mechanisms do you think would work best? Land value capture, parking permits, or something else entirely?

Yeah my understanding is that OpenAI is taking over the whole building.

Do we know if DOT ever evaluated center-running bus lanes with concrete bus islands like Flatbush? It was never in their three options

If a block is completely full of outdoor dining structures then it's a good candidate to be pedestrianized.

I wish the digital screens in the system would update the map at night and on weekends.

I think @meehan.nyc mapped out that you could easily convert the two center lanes on the Lincoln Tunnel to bus-only with full access to PABT. But yes, you would need to build a lot in NJ to better feed buses into it.

The top 4 Saturdays beat the top 4 busiest airport days for the whole country!

Going from APTA numbers which includes all riders, ridership is roughly stable.

2014 Q2: 2,608.2 million
2025 Q2: 2,270.8 million

Also fare evasion on SBS is higher than local buses which would also help to explain the discrepancy on the M14.

I still hope that the B71 on Union can be restored. But contraflow bus lanes on 5th Ave would set a good precedent!

CrashMapper of NYC with the whole city covered by crash sites.

Absolutely, because you also can't even find an intersection that's never had a crash ever.

G 21st really needs entrances on 48th Ave.

An NJT infill station in Union City would become one of the busiest stations in Jersey overnight.

So cool! Do you know if it's possible to convert garages with elevators? I know of one that was interested in any kind of conversion but they gave up because it was too complicated.

4:30pm press conference means he has enough time to catch the 7:50pm Turkish Airlines flight out of JFK

That makes so much sense! I always wondered why there were some old trolley poles along that street.

Where would you send the R? to Fulton local instead of a Worth St subway?

Fair. "Outbound" does obfuscate the termini of each line.

This isn't specific to the L train though. They're using "outbound" everywhere except the G train.

Yes, there is definitely a conductor during the week.

For "Fast Buses" I think its about time to dust off the MTA's BRT study from 2004

NYC is so bad at this. Even the Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) has its own police force!

Bus Lines of NJ Transit Bus routes from the April 2025 service change. Generalized bus routes with operating patterns dissolved into a single record per line number.

But reducing personal vehicle traffic creates more space for trucks.
And goods can go on freight trains if we invest in them more.

What do you think explains the 13% increase in HBLR ridership? Did service improve a lot in 2024?

North 6th St from Berry to Kent in particular is so underbuilt.
