5th Avenue travelers use a variety of modes during the AM peak, but
the bus is the dominant travel mode
Roadway space is being predominantly allocated to taxis and private
vehicles, which carry fewer people combined than buses do in the AM
peak.

Madison Av at 45th
St (looking north)
MADISON AV
Double bus lane
implemented in 1983
Bus lane active hours
expanded from 2 7 PM
to 24 Hours in Nov. 2012.
Many local and express
buses that go north on
Madison Av, go south on
5th Av.
Street width and traffic
volumes are similar to 5th
Av, which suggests a
similar design on 5th Av
could work.
