Talk transit and maps at this Bushwick happy hour

For all the talk of transit problems in New York there is one mode of transportation rarely used, and it’s the most visible of them all: buses.

For those interested in how bus travel can be improved and what role it will play in New York City’s transit future, Bushwick mapping startup CARTO will host a happy hour July 25 called Buses, Beers and Bytes.

“Hear from leading voices in the effort to upgrade New York City’s bus network and get a behind-the-scenes look at some of the solutions that can help make buses faster and more reliable,” according to the event’s invitation.

• Lela Prashad, CEO and Cofounder at NiJeL
• Tabitha Decker, Director of Research & NYC Program Director at TransitCenter
• Natasha Saunders, Riders Alliance member-leader
