MTA revives weekend express buses to Bay Ridge
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority says it will restore weekend service on the X27 express bus that links Bay Ridge and Manhattan.
Starting in October, the X27, which runs from Shore Road to midtown, will once again operate on Saturdays and Sundays, MTA Chairman Joseph Lhota told local officials on Thursday.
Weekend service on the X27 was eliminated in June 2010 as a cost-cutting measure. The agency also eliminated or curtailed service on other bus lines, including the B37 on Third Avenue.
