The bus is one of the worst ways to get around the city. It's slow , filthy and some of the same people who've made riding the subway a terrible experience ride the bus too . Some of the buses are infested with roaches . 2.75 , 2 dollars or free they still have work to do making it a better and safer experience for the rider.

This plan has a lot of quality improvements too, the headline is a little too focused on the flashy free fares aspect

It would be a start. People will no longer have to fumble for metrocards and hold up the bus. Bus operators could open all doors which would allow for fast boarding. The next step would be to change the distance between stops. We don’t need stops on every block.
