Op-ed: What the MTA won’t tell you about the Queens Bus Network Redesign

Jul. 9, 2025 By Jack Nierenberg

This op-ed is a response to a July 6 commentary published in amNewYork by New York City Transit President Demetrius Crichlow regarding the rollout of the Queens Bus Network Redesign.

The reality on the ground is far from what Mr. Crichlow is describing.
