65 Riders, You Are Now Screwed. No El Service To Blue Beach Til' June.

April 23th, 2016. Metropolis, BR.

65 Trains Will Be Stopping Short For 2 Months at Bay of Silence Instead of Blue Beach.

In almost the same level of the botched Lindsay Blitz Project which forced riders of Metropolis's third busiest elevated rapid transit line on buses for half the route just to reconfigure the tracks and platform at one station, the 65 Elevated Line is now about to drop the ball for 2 months while they tear down and rebuild Blue Beach Terminal into a new Multi-modal transit center and a connection to the Trees Avenue Subway. Passnegers will be forced onto buses and the 36 Bus Line most likely will feel the brunt of this closure.

Blue Beach Transfer Will Never Look Like This Again.

The current station, know as Blue Beach Transfer, will be completely torn down. First the 65 elevated section will be the first to be torn down, followed by the 22 & 26 Platforms. The 65 will terminate short at Bay of Silence while a shuttle bus runs in a giant loop around Bay of Silence, Ran Mourie Plaza and Blue Beach and back to Bay of Silence in that order. Passengers wishing to go to Blue Beach must alight at Ran Mourie Plaza since the next station following is Blue Beach. This move is already criticized due to the launch failure of The Linday Blitz. MT was in bus shortage at the time and they tried to pull off the shuttle busing with limited service. It failed so bad, Great Grundolf Transportation lent Metropolis Transit buses for the duration of the "Blitz". Blue Beach Terminal would be different, buses running more frequently due to the importance of this project.

Borrowing Buses Isn't Happening This Time. 

Since The Lindsay Blitz in in November-December 2014, Metropolis Transit has received 25 new Hybrid Electric Articulated Buses which will be used for the The Blue Beach Blitz. 100 new Clean Diesel Articulated Buses and 40 Trackless Trolley Articulated Buses are also now part of the fleet giving Metropolis Transit more options for shuttle busing. While there was no bill to run the Great Grundolf Tranportation buses, MT is pay off insurance for a tornado damaged GGT bus from the January 2015 Southwest Tornado who destroyed the bus. The Blue Beach Blitz will not effect the 22 & 26 Line.
