A major transit upgrade is underway in New York City as construction begins on a complete overhaul of the 116th Street bus corridor. The project aims to transform the route into a dedicated fast-bus lane, designed to significantly reduce travel times for the thousands of daily riders. Officials emphasize the initiative’s role in easing congestion and improving efficiency for one of the busiest transit corridors in the city. The changes could benefit commuters who rely on the service for work, school, and essential trips.
