Eric Adams Is Pushing a Plan to Speed Up Buses. Will It Work?

Mayor Eric Adams has promised 150 miles of new bus lanes in New York City, but some drivers and businesses say they have created headaches in the past.

The B41 bus rolls forward in fits and starts. Cars cut in front of it and dollar vans and delivery trucks block access to the curb to pick up passengers.

On bad days, it takes Josh Hyman and his daughter, Penelope, half an hour to ride the bus less than a mile along Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn to her elementary school.

“It’s all that traffic clogging Flatbush Avenue that really gets you,” said Mr. Hyman, 38, a political organizer.
