New York City has the slowest bus system in the country. Getting it to move faster requires re-imagining how buses operate in the city. Explore the options being piloted in New York, as well as successful Bus Rapid Transit models around the world, in a discussion moderated by Aaron Naparstek, editor-in-chief of Streetsblog.

He will be joined by Joan Byron of the Pratt Center for Community Development and co-founder of COMMUTE; Walter Hook, Executive Director of the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy and co-editor of the Bus Rapid Transit Planning Guide; Gene Russianoff, staff attorney for the NYPIRG Straphangers Campaign; and Bruce Schaller, Deputy Commissioner for Planning and Sustainability at the New York City Department of Transportation.
