Crossing 86th Street: M86-SBS 

8/3/2015

In June, construction crews were quite active along 86th Street installing kiosks and signage in preparation for the rollout of a new M86 Select Bus Service.  According to the MTA, the M86 crosstown line is the busiest route per mile serving 24,000 riders daily. The Select Bus Service aims to improve travel times by having riders pre-pay before boarding. Using a Metrocard, riders obtain a paper ticket at kiosks located at the bus stops. Time savings occur because all three doors on the bus can be used to let riders on.  So, how successful has the July13 rollout been? Here are some anecdotal observations after a few weeks of use.
