Buckle up, fans of cheap buses, things are about to change. Kind of. Despite increased scrutiny, the city doesn't have much say over where the Bolt- and Mega buses of the world could do their thing but a new bill in Albany would allow the city (i.e. the MTA and community boards) to assign designated pick-up and drop-off locations and require a permits to operate in the city. The bus companies seem okay with the idea, as do riders...as long as it doesn't hurt those ridiculously cheap prices. We'll take clogged thoroughfares in exchange for $1 tickets to Boston anytime!
