"Disabled and walking with a cane, Migdalia told the Bronx Times that she appreciates the convenience of living close to a Bx19 bus stop, but laments the experience of riding it at times. The bus often moves slowly, she believes, because of overcrowding in the community. 'Too many schools' and traffic contribute to the problem, she believes."
"Rodriguez Jr., who lives in Hunts Point, said he's usually too impatient to ride the bus. 'If a train takes me half an hour, [the bus] takes me an hour and 25 minutes, because it's just stop after stop after stop.'"
Bronx bus riders face significant challenges with slow and unreliable service, forcing tens of thousands of residents to depend on buses for daily transportation. The affected population includes essential workers at Hunts Point Terminal Market, healthcare workers, college students, and various other commuters. Overcrowding, traffic congestion, and school schedules contribute to delays and slow speeds. Residents express frustration with travel times that far exceed alternative transportation options. Despite these challenges, many have no viable alternatives and must rely on buses to reach work, school, medical appointments, and family visits throughout the borough.
