09/05/07 - Changes Comming To The Port Chester # 13 Bus


HEADLINE:



STORY:

A new express bus route to Westchester Medical Center will start serving riders today, one of several changes on the county's Bee-Line bus routes this fall that are being made to accommodate growing ridership.

The new Route 43 "Super Express'' buses will travel on the Cross County and Sprain Brook Parkways, which will help cut travel time between Mount Vernon and the Westchester Medical Center in half.

"We will start bus service ...between the 241st Street subway station, downtown Mount Vernon and the Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla," said Transportation Commissioner Lawrence C. Salley. "There will be three trips in the morning and three trips back in the afternoon using coach-style buses."

Ridership has been growing an average of 9.5 percent a month since April, Salley said. That's when the county joined the MetroCard fare system, which offers free transfers within two hours from local city buses and subways.

Other changes beginning today will be on Routes 4, 7, 13, 16, 20, 45, 55 and BxM4C, and Loops A and H. The highlights are........
