If you missed attending the CB6-specific outreach event last month and would like to have a say on the proposed plan, submit your feedback at contact.mta.info/s/forms/bus-network-redesign or via the web-based interactive mapping tool, “Remix,” on MTA’s website (which allows customers to view proposed bus routes and stops in detail, and directly comment on specific routes).
