Beginning today, bus riders can expect to see more MTA buses on their routes than usual.

The MTA announced that bus service will increase on 14 local routes across Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island.

In Brooklyn, the B17, B103, B 74, and B26 lines will be impacted.

The MTA says the service enhancements will decrease travel times, shorten commutes and reduce wait times at bus stops. Frequency improvements were targeted to peak periods when buses are most crowded.

On certain routes, increased service will reduce wait times by as much as two and a half minutes. It’s a small improvement that bus riders tell News12 they are not taking for granted.
