Residents Favor 13/37 Merger. Propose Bus Changes Discussed

Metropolis, BR. April 18th, 2014.

Recently purchased bus from Gerardo Transit for 67A Service.

Last night, residents got a chance to voice their concerns at a meeting with Metropolis Transit officials about certain bus line changes.  The results were largely in favor of Metropolis Transit's changes instead of the opposite way around it's been following previous meetings. Metropolis Transit's changes were short but important improvements to the current bus system. Residents were also urged to suggest further improvement to the current bus & trackless trolley system.

The 13 Trackless Line along Bridget Avenue may go further then 38th Street.

Of one of the proposed changes was to merge the 13 & 37 Lines as one line that will extend both lines and eliminate the need for a transfer. The proposal is to extend the current 13 trackless along existing wire up 38th-39th Streets to Corlesen Ave, then turning right onto the eastern R wires to a new trackless loop at 30th-Corlesen Ave. There would be rush hour trip to both 40th-Woodland and 53rd-Bayshore. Residents favored the changed since there was no new trackless construction involved. The current western terminal at City Line Bl and Bridget Ave will remain unchanged which was happy news to western Bridget Avenue residents.

 Another much like proposal was the 67A Shuttle bus that would provide FREE transfers between the 67 trolley at 49th-Corlesen to Metropolis International Airport stopping at the propose stop of the 67 Airport Extension. 5 buses from Gerardo Transit were purchased specifically to run this service as well as few of the New Flyer Industries hybrid-clean diesel buses.  There also favortisim toward the Route 87 and the Route 42 extensions. Both replacing in street terminals that are deem too crowded and robbing the city of parking space. Metropolis Transit will take the opinion to consideration before authorizing any changes to the bus system.
