Bus

How can we make buses faster and more efficient, especially in bus lanes?

Traffic has increased in New York City and bus lanes are often blocked. As a result, buses travel more slowly than ever.

In midtown Manhattan, the average bus speed is as low as 3.4 mph, comparable to a New Yorker's walking speed.

In 2019, the Transit Tech Lab sought applications from companies with innovative technologies to make public buses faster and more efficient, especially in bus lanes.
