Buses could run more frequently. The schedule got cut drastically on many routes some years back and never recovered.

Sure, obviously things could be improved, but come on, it's not like it's hard to get around Manhattan without a car. This isn't a suburb of LA, it's a region with dozens of heavy rail transit lines running 24/7. If Manhattan can't support every other street being car free, literally nowhere else on the planet can.

I’m not arguing with you, we agree. Things can be improved. Thanks.

I want more crosstown busways personally (like 14th). I’d do 34th, 42nd, and 57th as the bare minimum.

And much more severe restrictions for standing in bus lanes.

Doesn't the M34 run on 34th crosstown?

Yes but not on a busway. Busways are roads that are closed to ordinary traffic.

We need a busway on 23rd. I can walk to Traders Joe’s quicker than taking a bus sometimes and it’s three stops away.
