The selected routes are the M116 in Manhattan, the B60 in Brooklyn, the Q4 in Queens, the Bx18 in the Bronx and the S46/96 in Staten Island. Once the initiative concludes, fares will revert back to what they were. A new pilot program offering New Yorkers free bus rides across five different routes, one in each borough, is scheduled to kick off this Sunday and last at least six months.Īfter the allotted time, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) will analyze data and decide whether to extend the project an additional half year or wrap it up.
