There was an impasse with a second B35 bus that refused to move.
“There’s nothing more like New York than that,” said Josh Apert, who lives nearby.
For several minutes, the two buses did not move – in the middle of the intersection.
The witnesses then became members of the audience who turned into negotiators, offering to help clear up the traffic jam.
“How was he right if the other bus was here?” said a spectator.
They quickly realized that it would take much longer than a minute in New York for the curtain to fall on this conflict.
Eventually, the buses moved.
The MTA called this ‘very New York traffic jam’, recognizing that it could have been better managed. He blamed an illegally parked minivan and a shopping container. They released a statement saying:
“This is an illustration of why well-applied bus priority and street parking regulations are so critical to the smooth running of our buses – we will contact the local authorities to ensure this is not a chronic problem place. “
“This is a busy intersection – one of the busiest. There is always congestion and stubborn people who don’t want to move, ”added Apert.
