Kagan asks, ‘What about X29 bus?’
Urges MTA to restore service
Not everyone is celebrating the return of the B37 bus, it seems.
Brighton Beach residents who lost the X29 express bus when the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) eliminated the bus line as a cost cutting measure three years ago, are happy for their Bay Ridge and Sunset Park neighbors getting the B37 bus back, but are also wondering when their turn will come, a City Council candidate said.
Ari Kagan, a Democrat running for the City Council in the 48th Council District (Brighton Beach-Sheepshead Bay-Manhattan Beach) called on the MTA to bring back the X29 bus. The agency’s board voted unanimously July 24 to restore service on the B37 bus line. The bus operated on Third Avenue from Bay Ridge to downtown Brooklyn.
