New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is putting the push for faster and more reliable buses at the center of his transit agenda, while the promise of completely free bus service takes a temporary back seat due to major fiscal and logistical challenges. The administration is targeting a 20% increase in overall bus speeds by 2030, with plans for 50 bus priority corridors, 28 bus lane projects, and new traffic signals designed to give buses priority. The roadmap also includes 2,500 new buses, expanded all-door boarding, hundreds of new shelters, more seating, and improved accessibility. While fare-free buses remain a long-term goal, the immediate focus is on improving speed, reliability, and affordability through measures such as the Fair Fares program. With full fare elimination estimated to cost $700 million to $1 billion annually, Mamdani’s transit strategy could reshape how millions of New Yorkers move around the city. #ZohranMamdani #Mamdani #NYCBuses #NYCTransit #FastBusPlan #NYCTran
