If you’re concerned about the proliferation of “Chinatown buses,” it might not be a bad idea to drop by Community Board 3’s transportation committee meeting Tuesday, September 10.  That evening, the panel will hear proposals to add a new bus stop or expand service at five locations throughout the neighborhood.

Yo! Bus, Greyhound’s new service that launched from 2 Pike St. last December, will be asking to double the number of scheduled daily stops from 14 to 28.  Also on the agenda —  these applications:

  • NYC Style Limo Inc, 95 Canal St.
  • Blue Sky Bus Tours Inc, 51 Chrystie St.
  • Asian Express Travel Inc, 30 Pike St.
  • A&W Inc, 9 Chatham Square

The meeting will take place at University Settlement, 184 Eldridge at 6:30 p.m.  Also that evening, the Department of Transportation will followup on requests to improve traffic/pedestrian flow at Clinton and Grand streets and review last year’s safety improvements along Delancey Street.
