They make up a New York City transportation system that serves areas not so easily reachable by the MTA, often used in low-income neighborhoods with large immigrant communities. See a map of their routes, below, and learn more in this interactive feature from The New Yorker.

I hope Deblasio doesn’t build a homeless Village in East New York. Between the incompetent local leaders running that area into the ground and the social programs that keep East New York stuck in the 70’s that place can’t catch a break.
The photo caption of this Daily Links is wrong — the lively commercial street scene is not Gowanus. It is 5th Avenue by 5th Street in what is unquestionably Park Slope (Center Slope).
When did that area start being call “Gowanas,” anyway? Old timers never used that term
Thanks for catching, Elizabeth. It’s been fixed.
