thank god. they've already put the buses on the road, with the ticket machines ready. talk about slow. i don't know people havent blown a gasket over how long it takes to get from point A to point b on this bus

It really is the worst crosstown bus in Manhattan. But I don't see how making the line SBS will speed things up. Perhaps a pair of wings might help?
It's the traffic ahead that shows the buses down...and each wheelchair and walker, and the pokes getting off the bus.
THe only way that Select service speeds bus travel is when the Select bus skips many local stops, like the M15-SBS.
I read they are planning SBS service for the M96 but that might be after the Second Avenue subway and then I will have no further use for the crosstown bus.

lol they've eliminated the lexington and 5th avenue stops. (which were unnecessary anyway). all folk have to do is pay before they hop on, and step on the bus. simple sh**. there are a ton of old crows who live in the grammercy area, who significantly slow down the bus
Dedicated bus lanes are a joke. One truck unloading stops the bus and forces it to squeeze into a wall of traffic in the adjoining lane. After 5 minutes it gets into the lane and crawls forward a few feet past the truck and back into the bus line where 10 feet ahead it encounters ANOTHER unloading truck and the process starts all over again.
If a bus cannot hop over traffic blocking it, then all the best ticketing schemes in the world will not speed it up.
i think DOT and NYPD traffic can do a better job with unblocking dedicated SBS bus lanes. bet if there was a hefty fine for blocking the lanes, they would move out of the way then
