If you're an east side dweller (or work) anywhere along the M15 routes you may have noticed some changes. Well it seems that starting October 10th select bus service is coming to Manhattan- its been in the Bronx along certain routes already..
What is select bus service you ask ? Well....like existing limited bus service on speed steroids.... According to the MTA .Its supposed to be faster, more convenient and reliable. MTA claims it could be up to 20% faster. Its not the 2nd Ave Subway but its supposed to speed things up....a little Where does it stop ?The stops are same as those for the limited-remember than due to subway construction some stops are moved-like for 97th/96th, 86th and 72nd.
How does it work ? Basically you pay with your Metrocard BEFORE you board one of those three door buses (at those machines you see near the new bus shelters-like in the photo), you get a receipt - that if asked for at any point while you are on the bus, you must produce or be subject to a summons. The bus travels in special "bus only" lanes. (those red ones you've seen being painted ) Should be interesting . What do you think ? Will you try it out ? For more info check out mta.info ....or after October 10th check back after I try it I'll write about it ! Til the next time!
