You need operators for those busses tho.

Of course yeah, any idea for improving the MTA involves throwing more money at it

No, qualified bus and school bus operators are at a planetwide shortage.
For 2 years there was reduced or suspended hiring, training, on boarding, and certifying. At the same time, there was more than 6 equivalent years of layoffs, terminations, retirements, quits, non-renewals, and yes even covid deaths.

Not to mention you’re going to be hard pressed to find people wanting to drive local busses on the overnight shift regardless of the shortage.
