As part of the Fast Forward Plan to modernize New York City Transit, the bus networks in all five boroughs will be reimagined. Brooklyn is the fourth borough to undergo a bus network redesign, with redesigns in the Bronx and Queens currently underway. On Staten Island, a redesign of the express bus network implemented in August 2018 has led to improved service reliability and faster bus speeds by up to 12 percent.
More information about the redesigns is available here: new.mta.info/system_modernization/bus_network
A dedicated website on the Brooklyn redesign with the accompanying online survey, where customers can find reports as they are released, is available here: new.mta.info/brooklynbusredesign
Information about the Queens redesign is available here: new.mta.info/queensbusredesign
