Brooklyn a big beneficiary of new MTA routes and service restorations
The MTA is restoring about a third of the service cuts made in 2010, increasing bus frequency and creating some new transit routes — and Brooklyn is a major beneficiary.
A brand new ‘Brooklyn Tech Triangle’ bus route is on the drawing board, along with a new bus route along the Williamsburg waterfront.
The Tech Triangle route will connect Downtown Brooklyn to DUMBO, Vinegar Hill and the Brooklyn Navy Yard, while the new waterfront route will link Williamsburg to Greenpoint. Another route is planned to connect East New York to Spring Creek, according to state Sen. Daniel Squadron and Councilman Brad Lander, who released news of the routes ahead of the MTA’s official press conference Thursday afternoon.
