New restrooms, ceilings that don't leak and buses that run closer to schedule are some of the short-term improvements the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is making at its aging midtown bus terminal.
Officials detailed plans for the Port Authority Bus Terminal on Wednesday.
Among them is a bypass lane to make it easier for buses to get to the terminal's fourth floor, and more staging areas so buses don't have to return to New Jersey after the morning commute.
Officials say $90 million is being freed up by deferring or slowing work on other projects, including the Lincoln Tunnel helix and roadway repairs near the New York side of the tunnel.
The terminal is the busiest in the country, handling about 220,000 passenger trips daily.
