| B25 bus in DUMBO. By MK Metz |
"Brooklyn's tech industry is changing the face of New York—and now, we'll have a bus route that will allow the booming Tech Triangle to continue to grow and innovate," Squadron, D-Brooklyn, said in a statement.
The exact details of the new route haven't been decided yet, but it may involve re-routing the B25 bus, which presently terminates on Main Street in DUMBO.
A new waterfront route will link Williamsburg to Greenpoint, and another route is planned to connect East New York to Spring Creek, according to the Brooklyn Eagle.
The MTA has also agreed to make the G train 5-stop extension to Church Avenue permanent.
Nine Brooklyn bus lines will be either restored or extended; list of changes here.

It seems the more connections 'made' the longer the route the more time it takes and the less usability it actually has.
ReplyDeleteAll of these routes go round and round with a stop every minute instead of linking south brooklyn to the burg. So it takes 2 hours to get there via going through Manhattan since that is the shortest route. The longest route is the shortest pure idiocy.
Sen. Squadron said that "stakeholders" will be able to put their two cents in when it comes time to decide the exact routes.
ReplyDeleteMTA cus routes for the poor but changes for the wealthy. Walentas behind this too? Rent will go up even more!
