MTA to put more B1 buses on 86th Street
Take heart, all of you exasperated B1 bus riders! Your long, long wait for a bus to arrive may finally end.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) is rolling out more B1 buses to ease congestion and long wait times.
The bus line, which snakes through a large section of southwest Brooklyn, from 86th Street and Fourth Avenue in Bay Ridge to Kingsborough Community College on Oriental Boulevard in Manhattan Beach, has been the source of aggravation for thousands of riders who sometimes have to cool their heels for 30 minutes or more.
For much of its route, the B1 travels along 86th Street.
