Streetfilms: Hey Port Authority, How About More Room for Buses?

Over 315,000 bus riders cross the Hudson River each weekday. More
than half of these bus riders travel through the Lincoln Tunnel, but the
exclusive bus lane, which only operates during the morning rush hour, is
at capacity.

This Streetfilm, produced in collaboration with the Tri-State Transportation Campaign and with animation by Hugh Gran and Carly Clark, offers recommendations on what the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey can do to improve these bus crossings. You can also download TSTC’s full May 2009 report on area bus service [PDF] for more info.
