Bronx, NY- Today Council Member Fernando Cabrera called for more frequent service and larger buses on the Bx3, which runs through the Kingsbridge and Fordham neighborhoods in his district.
“We’re in a pandemic, in one of the most seriously COVID-impacted communities in the city. We’ve worked hard to control community spread but our transit is working against us. This is unacceptable,” said Cabrera. “I’m demanding increased bus service and larger buses to be put onto the Bx3 line.”
The Bx3, which runs through the west Bronx into upper Manhattan, also serves Bronx Community College, with than 10,000 students, many of whom depend on the Bx3 to travel between home, jobs and classes. “The buses on the Bx3 line are too small and too infrequent to handle the ridership that depends on it and in a pandemic, we cannot allow this situation to continue,” said Cabrera. “The data is in and the numbers don’t lie. Increase the service, put bigger buses on the line. This community has suffered enough.”
Council Member Cabrera is available for interviews.
