Op-ed | Rerouting Brooklyn buses to serve the borough better
would be the sixth largest in the country on its own. It’s an invaluable asset, but one that’s in need of improvement according to our most recent customer survey.
The new Draft Plan proposes to increase frequency during parts of the day on 24 of the 69 local routes. They should look familiar to riders, but most have some type of change: some routes are extended, some shortened; some are realigned to serve other streets or combined with other routes; and some only have proposed stop changes. All were designed by the Brooklyn team using best-in-class redesign strategies to meet the needs of an ever-changing borough.
All Brooklynites will have a voice in the redesign. The Draft Plan is exactly that – a draft. We want to hear from riders about what you like and don’t like about the proposal, so we can make adjustments. Public engagement was key to making prior redesigns in Staten Island and the Bronx such a success, and it’s been central to the creation of the Queens Proposed Final Plan, which is due for release next year.
