Tremont Avenue

Mayor Zohran Mamdani's administration will break ground on the Tremont Avenue busway in the Bronx to speed up service for nearly 40,000 daily riders. The new upgrades are intended to make the critical crosstown corridor safer and easier to navigate by connecting residents to multiple subway lines and local routes. This project is part of a sweeping effort by the city and state to improve bus service across the five boroughs.

The first busway in The Bronx will be installed along Tremont Avenue to improve the Bx36 bus route, which currently averages five miles per hour and serves 39,000 commuters. Mayor Mamdani announced the project as a solution to slow travel times on the busy corridor.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani is advancing the Bronx's first busway on Tremont Avenue and initiating public engagement for three rapid bus corridors in Brooklyn under the 'Next Stop' plan. The projects aim to improve bus speeds for 200,000 daily riders, with the Bronx busway targeting faster commutes for 39,000 riders on the slow-moving Bx36 route.

New York City is advancing a Bronx busway along Tremont Avenue to speed commutes and improve safety. City officials state that busways can increase bus speeds by up to 60% and reduce injuries by 45%.
