Riders Alliance Transit Organization Cheers Mayor Mamdani’s “Next Stop” Fast Bus Plan
Photos: NYC.GOV The Riders Alliance organization is cheering New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani on his “Next Stop” Fast Bus Plan. Riders Alliance Executive Director Betsy Plum said: “Bus riders across New York organized and won a visionary plan for fast buses and the chance to win back hours of our lives. By reigniting a real partnership between NYC DOT and the MTA, Mayor Mamdani and Governor Hochul are creating a historic opportunity to make buses dramatically faster and more reliable for the New Yorkers who depend on them every day. “Speeding up buses by at least 20% on several dozen critical corridors alongside the advent of new rapid bus routes would amount to the biggest improvements to bus service in decades. They place unprecedented value on riders’ time and afford us the dignity we deserve. “Slow buses are not just an inconvenience. They are a barrier to opportunity, a drain on family time, and a daily indignity for the New Yorkers who rely on them to reach work, school, childcare, healthcare and other basic needs and opportunities. “Getting buses right means getting the basics of city life right. Riders built the power that made this moment possible, and we’ll keep organizing until these promises become real improvements in every borough.”
