BRT draws raves, but new lines are delayed

Everyone loves the new Select Bus Service lanes in effect in the Bronx, reports The Times’ William Neuman. So hopefully, New York City Transit will begin a quick roll-out of these lanes, right? Well, not so fast. Due mainly to bus supply problems and some logistical issues, we’re going to be waiting at least 18-24 months until the Manhattan routes debut. At least this delay gives the MTA plenty of time to get the BRT plans right and to straighten out the enforcement issues.
