- EXCLUSIVE: 63-block stretch of Manhattan’s 6th Avenue will get a busway under DOT proposal
New York City's Department of Transportation proposes a 63-block bus lane on Manhattan's 6th Avenue to accelerate bus speeds for 51,000 daily riders. The plan includes offset and curbside lanes, aiming to address current slow speeds (as low as 3.5 mph for local buses). The project is part of Mayor Zohran Mamdani's broader efforts to expand bus infrastructure.
