Representatives from the New York City Department of Transportation and MTA New York City Transit will deliver a presentation to Bronx Community Board 5 on how Select Bus Service will speed travel times for bus riders. Select Bus fares will be paid under a “proof of payment” system where riders would pay at stations and show a receipt if asked by on-board fare collectors. This will shorten delay caused as passengers pay one by one at the head of the bus. Bx12 Select buses will also have traffic signal priority, gaining the ability to extend green lights and shorten red lights by several seconds when behind schedule. Finally, the Select route will include bus lanes between the Bronx Zoo and Cedar Avenue, as well as between the Broadway/207 St and 10th Ave. subway stations in Manhattan.
