Flushing Main Street Busway @MainStBusway
I’m a little busway, short but great. Here are my passengers, who aren’t late. When I get extended I’ll be better. To your electeds, send a letter. Flushing, NY Joined January 2021-

It shouldn't take 9 years to implement a simple capital project for safety improvements on a street. Also, no bus or bike lanes. Disgraceful. @sam_d_1995 @JerusalemDemsas @MarketUrbanism @2AvSagas @BrooklynSpoke @Ramond123456 @TransitNinja205
Astoria Boulevard, 24th Avenue to 29th Avenue - presented to Queens Community Board 3 in May 2022 www1.nyc.gov/html/dot/downl…
we’ve come a long way since grandma (livingston) and grandpa (victory) more granbaby busways
Today in 1963, NYC's first bus lanes opened in Brooklyn and Staten Island. Yet nearly 60 years later, less than 1% of our streets are dedicated to moving millions of bus riders. Let's change this: With #NYC25x25, every New Yorker can live within a quarter-mile of a bus lane.
bus, bus why?
I’ve lived in nyc my whole life. I’ve never stepped foot on an a @MTA express bus
small time put a busWAY on every street and then we’re moving
Putting a protected bike lane, sidewalk, and bus lane on every street is somehow a controversial act in a country that doesn’t think twice about putting free parking, roads, and highways on every street.
We can't understate the incredible power of transit riders when we're organized and focused. It's how we won $900 million for #BetterBuses last month! Now, let's make sure every mile of bus lanes promised by @NYCMayor is painted! (So far, he's at 0). action.ridersalliance.org/tweet-0-of-150/
Make buses free, funded with money collected from enforcing against illegally defaced or obscured license plates. nypost.com/2022/05/08/mta…
but how am i gonna get off the bus ?
This spring, NYC DOT will resume implementation of #BetterBuses, #BikeNYC & pedestrian improvements on University Ave (Washington Bridge to Tremont Ave) in #theBronx. This work will: 🚶♀️🚴♂️Improve pedestrian & cyclist safety 🚌Increase bus speeds & reliability 🚗Calm traffic
City leaders made a promise to deliver #BetterBuses, safer streets, and a more equitable city when the NYC Streets Plan became law. We're thrilled that @NYCCouncil is demanding $3.1 billion in funding for the Streets Plan in their budget response! nyc.streetsblog.org/2022/04/04/cou…
@Ramond123456 @AJPrincipato @Union_Tpke we agree should be more busway
A thread of some random thoughts: Some routes that will get delayed due to congestion without bus priority in the Queens Bus Redesign: Q50 on the Whitestone, Q68 on the Kosciuszko, Q51 on the Belt. There are others. Union Street in Flushing needs bus priority./1
looks like i’ve been a busway boy
Haven’t been to Flushing’s Main St since the busway went in, but whoa, what a change it’s brought to the stretch. This is at evening rush, and there’s much less honking and traffic (although some cars still enter). Buses are flying by.
not some of this tho nuh-uh
fewer drivers means less pressure on me and takes a lot of weight off my concrete pavers
wherever people go on me they say how thrilled they are that i'm here to stay. thats what all the honking is right?
The @MainStBusway has definitely sped up the buses and made it safer to walk & bike. It's much more pleasant to visit and commute through downtown #Flushing than it was when it was gridlocked and suffocated by drivers. #Busway FTW!
