Brooklyn Paper
Central Brooklyn bus riders got their first chance to weigh in on proposals for speeding up routes running through their portion of the borough at Brooklyn College last week.
A large room on the CUNY Campus was packed with just over 100 people on Aug. 6, all gathered for Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s “Central Brooklyn Bus Rider Town Hall” event.
The city and the MTA selected Flatbush, Utica, and Church Avenues because they host some of the city’s busiest bus routes.
The 13 routes traveling on the three Central Brooklyn routes move as slowly as average speeds of 2 to 5 miles per hour.
One Central Brooklyn rider who attended the event, named Wayne Lewis, said he regularly takes the B44 and B41 routes.
