Cities around the world have increased bus speeds and reliability by using Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). BRT is a system of dedicated bus lanes and other improvements that give buses priority on the streets and streamline the process of boarding a bus. NYCDOT and MTA New York City Transit are bringing BRT to New York City. The first generation of BRT in NYC is called "Select Bus Service" or SBS for short.
New York City Transit and NYCDOT are beginning to lay the groundwork for a more comprehensive BRT network (Phase II BRT) across New York City -- complete with links to subways, ferries, and major destinations. NYCT and DOT invite the public to take part in interactive workshops and provide feedback on where new BRT routes should be established and how they should operate.
