Silver Applauds MTA Service Restorations for Lower Manhattan

I am enormously pleased that the MTA has agreed to restore service on several bus lines that are vitally important to my Lower Manhattan neighbors. I have strongly advocated for the restoration of service on the B39, M21, and M9 bus lines and I want to thank the MTA and Chairman Joseph Lhota for responding to the needs of the many New Yorkers who rely on those buses. High-quality, reliable mass transit is crucially important for our neighborhoods. Buses are by far the most reliable and efficient mass transit option for those who need to travel east-west in Lower Manhattan.
