She further adds that all Co-op City residents who are taking the Bx 26 or Bx 28 bus will be forced to wait in one spot that currently has no amenities or space for waiting if these changes are implemented. The Bx28 will have most of its service in Co-op City eliminated and on the western end of the line will be rerouted along Bedford Park Boulevard.īut one particular neighborhood will get the short end of the stick if this draft plan goes through.Ĭo-op City, home to over 43,000 residents of which a great number are seniors, will see worse service rather than better at least how we see it and several others do as well.Īmelia Zaino, who lives in Co-op City, says that the draft plan as it stands will force residents to transfer just to get to the subway in a single ride unless you’re heading to the 6 train. Hundreds of bus stops are proposed to be removed and many more added or adjusted to accommodate the changes to improve speed and reliability across The Bronx.

We took a look at the plan over the weekend and most seem to be pretty good changes from eliminating stops and adding some to changing the routes of others. After a lengthy study and community engagement, the MTA has released its Draft Plan for the much anticipated Bronx Bus Network Redesign Plan which seeks to improve bus service in our borough.
