MTA expands stroller zones on NYC buses, aiming for fleet-wide rollout by 2027
TL;DR
The MTA is expanding its stroller-space pilot to outfit every NYC bus with a designated rear area for strollers, redesigning back seats to boost capacity. About 75% of buses are already retrofitted; all new buses will include stroller space, and the fleet-wide rollout is targeted for late 2026 to early 2027, funded by the state budget. Riders with strollers must board at the front and move to the back, with officials highlighting improved accessibility for families while continuing to address fare evasion concerns.
