Bus Ridership Survey and Route Analysis
The Department of Transportation hired a consultant team to conduct a bus ridership survey and route efficiency study of the private franchised carriers in the Bronx and Queens. This included bus lines operated by Green Bus Lines, Jamaica Buses, Liberty Lines Express, New York Bus Service, Queens Surface Corporation, and Triboro Coach. The bus operator in Brooklyn, Command Bus Company, was not included in this study.
