Rolling Out Speedier Bus System, to Glitches and Grumbles
(NYT) — It has been hailed as the next generation of New York City public transport: a European-style rapid-transit bus system that operates in exclusive traffic lanes and requires passengers to buy tickets from sidewalk kiosks so trips will not be delayed by a single rider struggling for exact change.
