Just Saying… (#4 in a series)

I would love to see a viable BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) system happen in NYC. There are plans to have one line in each borough. If I won’t see a 2nd Ave Subway in my lifetime, this is the next best thing.
But if I’m on 62nd St with a big bulky package and I see 4 “Limited” buses (think express bus stops without express bus speed) go by my stop before I decide to walk to 82nd St, there’s something wrong. If I don’t see any local buses go by while I’m walking home, there’s something terribly wrong.
BRT will only work if there’s a working local service available. And amid all these budget cuts, I don’t know how that will happen.
