New digital MTA screens will make your NYC bus journey way easier
Waiting for the bus just got less of a guessing game, at least if you're on the Upper West Side or in Queensborough Hill. The MTA and NYC Department of Transportation have rolled out slick new digital screens that display real-time arrival info right at the bus stop. That's right: No phone, no app, no spinning wheel of death while you wait for the M11. The touch-screen devices were installed at four locations citywide on June 25 as part of a year-long pilot program aimed at making bus travel smarter and less stressful. On the Upper West Side, you'll find them at West 80th Street and Columbus Avenue and again between 74th and 75th on Columbus. In Queens, two additional screens are being tested in the low-key but lovely neighborhood of Queensborough Hill. The signs, created by Urban Solar, are battery-powered and pole-mounted. They show accurate, minute-by-minute wait times for upcoming buses—in this case, lines like the M7, M11 and crosstown M79. They're part of the 2024 Transit Tech Lab Challenge and represent a next-gen upgrade from the audio-based real-time updates currently available at more than 500 city bus stops. 'Providing bus riders with real-time information on bus time arrival is a powerful tool that will help New Yorkers to better manage their commutes,' a DOT spokesperson said in a statement. Translation: You'll know exactly when to hustle or grab a coffee instead. Two different screen types are being tested and the DOT is actively collecting rider feedback via user surveys over the next 12 months. Depending on how riders respond (and whether the tech holds up in winter), we may see more of these digital helpers across all boroughs in the future. So next time you're standing on a steamy corner wondering if the M79 is ghosting you again, just look up—you might be standing next to your new favorite screen.

I was unfazed by a near car crash, so why does a dental visit leave me quivering?
A couple of weeks ago, I nearly died. Okay, that's a slight exaggeration. It could have happened though – death, or serious injury. Or a slight injury. Or even a bit of a fright. But I experienced none of that. This is what did happen: I was driving on the M50 , then turned into the exit for the M7 . Ahead of me, a white van attempted to change lane, but there was a car right beside it. The two vehicles slammed into each other and wobbled. The van pulled into the hard shoulder, while the car skidded to a halt in the middle of traffic, straddling two lanes. I was directly behind, so I scarcely had time to think. I swerved around the stationary car. A moment's distraction and I would have crashed into the back of it. The motorist behind, without a view of what had just happened, would probably have crashed into me. READ MORE Later on, I checked online and couldn't find any reports of a crash. Thankfully, no one was hurt. Yet, obviously, it could have been far more serious. And I'm not telling you this to demonstrate my nerves of steel or my superior driving skill – I wouldn't claim to have either – but because of my reaction. I swerved around the car and drove on. I went about my day. That evening, I told Herself about it, but it wasn't the first thing I told her. It was almost an afterthought. Nor, in the days that followed, did I experience any delayed shock or a new appreciation of life. It was just a slightly surreal thing that happened. I don't seem to have been troubled by it. But I was slightly baffled as to why I wasn't. Two days later, I had to go to the dentist. There may well be people who enjoy such appointments, but I've yet to meet one. It is physically uncomfortable; I particularly dislike the pointy L-shaped instrument they use to hack at the teeth, as if they've suddenly decided to abandon all the years of training and just yank the tooth out like a medieval barber. Obviously, this comes from my own anxiety about the whole scenario in which the patient – this patient anyway – feels particularly vulnerable with their mouth cranked open while various tubes and fearsome-looking implements are used to scratch around inside. Part of that comes from not knowing exactly what the dentist is doing. In fairness, it's probably better that they don't share too much detail; and the patient isn't in a position to ask. But that information void can be filled with speculation: they are yanking at that tooth an awfully long time. Is there something wrong? Have they made a mistake? I tried to pass the time by counting how many objects were being placed inside my mouth, but abandoned that when it seemed like more was going in than coming out. [ Seán Moncrieff: The word 'old' has become an insult. If you're old, it's all over Opens in new window ] I tried staring serenely at the ceiling and listing all the things I would do when I got out of this chair, when I could move my shoulders again and give my now-aching jaw a rub. But that served only to draw my attention to my jaw and shoulders. And it wasn't just the discomfort or the vulnerability that I was trying to distract myself from: it was the jarring intimacy of the situation. For 90 minutes, two people leaned over my head and rummaged around inside. Yet they never made eye contact. Whenever the dentist spoke to me, she was looking away. All of this led me to ponder again why I was left unfazed by a near car crash, yet a dental visit leaves me quivering. We can be a mystery to ourselves. Perhaps it's time. The car incident lasted less than a second, and was over. Dental work never ends. I have to go back for a root canal.
