Introducing the Bus Open Stroller Pilot
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 авг 2024
- Our Bus Open Stroller Pilot will assess how well our buses can accommodate open, occupied strollers without impeding access or service for other riders. Visit mta.info/stroller to find out more.
This would help So many people bring their strollers on the bus. Please do this
NO
Cool feature. Definitely should have been done sooner. Would like to see this in more bus routes.
NO
In Sweden we have had this for more than 20 years with designated spaces for wheelchairs and strollers both at the back section and the center section of buses, in addition to that card readers have been equipped for those boarding at the back and in the center sections so that you don't have to go through the entire length of the bus, saving space, times and costs.
cool
They spelled Manhattan wrong on the bus routes graphic.
Who goes to Manhattan? Me.
Who goes to Mahattan? Nobody.
This really great because still need a space but much better then having to take up more the one seat on the bus because I really can’t stand sometimes on bus because of my invisible disability and it really unfair that people don’t understand when you have to give up for stroller because it should be like this bus a good space or fold the stroller
I don't understand, why were 3 rows of seats removed though? I don't like the 2023 seat design. It also is too tight on the left side too to sit in between the flip seats.
I love this idea but they should make a spot big enough for a double stroller.
My sister is a mom of twin girls & I used to watch her struggle so much on the bus.
She would have to bring the babies ( in carseats) on the bus 1st then go back & grab the stroller when she was traveling alone.
She would have the driver put the handicap seats ( if noone who was handicapped already occupied them) so she could put her closed stroller in that area and strap It in.
It was such a hassle. If she was 1 hr or closer( walking distance) she would walk to not have to go threw the headache.
If she could just walk onto a bus with the stroller and secure it like on the busses it should it would be so much more convenient for parents with 1 or multiple young children.
Please do this. This will help so much people who need it. I hope they update this with Bx31 and Bx12 as well and other routes
NO
Well they did it on the Bx41
We have these in europe since the 80s. Only than the bus flores were high and you had to lift the stroller and climb likr three stairs
What About Shopping Carts and Other Passengers With Disabilities?
My B1 buses from my Ulmer Park Depot way to go 👍🏻
The child is in the stroller, so why do i have give up my seat to the mother.
PS strollers have wheel locks.
This is to put the stroller out of the aisle.
love this
It is a great ideal for woman who have a very hard time getting on or off the strollers. When they don't have the space to put or fold the stroller. I hope their will be more to come.
You fold up simple
excited
Amazing new pilot program for humans who use strollers to ride with their babies on any MTA bus they take. : )
NO
Any improvement is a good change
How is this going to help???? There's so many single mothers opening they legs smh
This should take strollers out of the aisle.
I know
Queens is Q12 Q28
They spelled Manhattan as “Mahattan”.
This is "great" NOT now less seats.
It’s only two seats, so it’s not a concern.
@@TheRailLeaguer I get that, but still and bad enough these buses are overcrowded enough as is.
@@jaimepimentel1502 well it shouldn’t be that bad.
that's nothing wait till your taking a bus that usually has wheel chair riders and 4-5 ppl with strollers on a regular trip so they're going to fight for the space?? does the bus operator now have to intervene when there's a disagreement on who can use it and who has to fold their strollers should be interesting. transit is so far behind when it comes to transportation.
@@TRUPRROMEO yup.
That's amazing👍👍👍
I see it but no one with a stroller using it and that makes me furious
0:48 Bro on the left is staring mad hard ☠️☠️
🎉🎉
I’m Not Even A Elderly Person
But I’m Mentally Disabled and Have Been Taking The MTA Bus
With My Big Shopping Cart But I’ve Got To Fold Up
Move My Shopping Cart Next So The Passengers Can Have More Space Okay
Great! How about a bike rack like in other cities?
How about just riding your bike? This isn't San Francisco with lots of steep terrain.
About 35 buses in the Bronx and about another 40-is buses in Staten Island have bike racks on buses on the Bx23/Q50, and S53/93 routes respectively.
@@lohphat You do realize that there are Bridges with no bike paths, but have a bus route running over them, right?
How about noooo
the Bx23 is always used as a pilot lol
Why didn't they make it at the b11 or b16 where they need it the most
You haven't been able to take occupied strollers on buses before??? In Australia they have been allowed for decades, ever since the introduction of low-floor buses in the 1990's. Strollers use wheelchair spaces - wheelchairs have priority for the spaces but their use is not common, with the wheelchair space mostly used by strollers, shopping carts/jeeps, luggage, people standing, etc. The same as with wheelchairs, strollers need to be up against the side wall of the bus, against the front wheel arch facing backwards and with the brakes on - so if the bus has to brake suddenly the wheelchair or stroller doesn't move and injure its occupant or others on the bus.
Same in Sweden, the biggest problem with transit buses in the US is that the regulations are severely outdated and impractical for mass transit vehicles. North American mass transit buses simply can't compare to the ones in Europe, Australia and parts of Asia and Middle east. The North American bus, trucking and automobile lobby would never allow for example MAN, Volvo, Mercedes and BYD to import their European/Asian variants to North America. It's an inferiority complex since the North American bus manufacturers aren't as clever and practical so they tell congress to make shitty regulatory policies to protect their shitty fleets.
Not a good idea takes over standing space for passenger and extra seats
Why?
You should make awqufina announce all of nyc subways
so that was the meaning of that sticker on the Q53
Bad choice😡 more room for disabled enough strollers a lot of those brats are tooooo big for those strollers and entitled parents do not fold up
Not a good idea first wheel chair & baby strollers. what next . Food shopping cart’s. What’s next bikes.
Include walkers,dogs and furniture.
About 25 buses in Staten Island and another 30-ish buses in the Bronx are equipped with bike racks in the front of the bus, and no issues so far.
Some US cities already allow bikes inside buses. Mostly articulated (bendy) buses with bike racks inside the bus
I don’t care honestly.
With this more time for parents to be on their phones ignoring their kids & god forbid something happen & there is a rush to exit what happens to the kid in the stroller parked in a corner then you will see these idiots suiting up to sue STUPID idea a kid would b safer in their parents care
Huh?
@@TheRailLeaguer clearly you dont work for MTA just like the general public you dont see furter than your noses you people just want whats convenient for you
@@GT592 What are you talking about? None of that is true.
@@TheRailLeaguer so why parents want special treatment instead of holding their baby? Let me tell u somthing as a BO for the MTA parents leave their kids in the stoller when i would look in the mirror guess what they on their phones so whats your point then when something do happens we get blame & the people sue the MTA
@@GT592 How is this special treatment? They have something like this elsewhere, like in Australia.
How about starting a "pay your fare" pilot?
I'm tired of watching half the riders get on the back door -- or even the front -- and NOT PAY.
It seems some "cultures" have no problem stealing services without shame.
How does this relate to the stroller pilot?
This should've been implemented sooner. The problem now is that public transportation is so dangerous, I don't think parents would really want to travel there.
Speaking from 3 years over experience…Many children have different needs that require them to remain in strollers. The designate open area is great! It should be on all route and 2 areas (like wheelchairs) are best. But the focus needs to be clear to the drivers !
They need to provide better, more courteous customer service. Therefore memos and briefing emphasis their attitude towards the person with the stroller and traveling with children should be address.
I have had drivers refuse to lower the bus , drive off past us at the bus , close the door in our face while quickly folding, make nasty comments or simply put are rude. Special needs family have it hard enough.
Also the first & last single seat (opposite back door) on standard buses is are great location for a single fold. Preferable facing forward for a parent to be seated further securing the stroller.
Thanks, S/A L.
