New York, NY - City Plans To Roll Out The Red Carpet For Bus Lane

New York, NY - Bus Rapid Transit, a long-discussed proposal to give buses color-coded lanes, inched forward as the MTA and the city's Department of Transportation began a series of public forums.

Among the routes under discussion are First and Second avenues in Manhattan, Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn and Union Turnpike in Queens.
Proposals include painting bus lanes red, having traffic signals turn green as buses approach intersections, and even payment before boarding.
