Last year the website Roadify launched a parking spot availability website in the ironically named neighborhood of Park Slope; when a participating driver vacates a precious parking spot, they text the location to an online database, which is referenced by desperate motorists searching for a miracle. Now the site is trying a similar knowledge-sharing service for bus commuters, starting with the chronically delayed B67. Forget waiting for street-level countdown clocks to tell you how far off the friggin bus is; BusesAroundMe is promising to "change your life… seriously," according to Roadify: more ›

A young man in Brooklyn died last night in a freakish accident after being dragged 100 feet by a city bus. The 21-year-old man emerged from in between two parked cars and then was struck by an out of service B67 bus that was heading back to the depot in Kensington. Witnesses watched as the man got hooked onto the bus as the unsuspecting driver kept moving. One onlooker told the press, "He was trapped behind the back tire. He was breathing. You could see smoke coming out of his mouth because it was so cold." The driver of the bus remained at the scene and is not expected to face any charges. Witnesses said he could be seen crying as he paced back and forth inside the bus while the man was being tended to. The victim was rushed to Maimonides Hospital where he died a short time later. more ›
