Brownstone Brooklyn’s Senior Shuttle to cease operations
Never fear, says Heights and Hills: Borough-wide replacement planned
A shuttle bus serving seniors from Brooklyn Heights to Carroll Gardens for more than 20 years will stop rolling at the end of June.
The shuttle provides seniors with access to shopping, medical facilities and senior centers, including St. Charles Jubilee and Eileen Dugan centers.
Judy Willig, executive director of Heights and Hills, a nonprofit that provides supportive services for seniors in Brooklyn, said in a letter to riders that times have changed since the shuttle launched in 1994.
With the closing of Long Island College Hospital (LICH), ridership of the shuttle dropped dramatically, she wrote.
