In a letter to Lhota today, Assembly corporations and authorities chair Jeff Dinowitz and 44 of his colleagues demand a "comprehensive plan" to fix the bus system "within six months."
The cratering of NYC transit service has created an opening to solve thorny problems that have become deeply embedded in the MTA over many years. Transit riders need public servants who'll muster every available means to shed more light on the causes of NYC's transit crisis.
Streetsblog recently spoke to Dinowitz to find out what his constituents are telling him about transit service, how he plans to use his oversight role in the Assembly, and what he thinks must be done to turn around bus and subway service.
A broad coalition of 67 state legislators want Governor Andrew Cuomo to pursue two potentially transformative improvements to NYC's notoriously slow and unreliable bus service.
