Several news outlets are reporting the hardship some Brooklyn residents will face as a result of citywide cuts to try to bridge an $800 million budget gap. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority has decided to slash several subway service lines, including the V and W trains, which are between Manhattan and Queens. But the MTA is stopping some bus service lines and is slowing down some subway lines to save money, too. Think you’ve waited for the G train for awhile before? It’ll be longer now, as trains run less often on nights and weekends.
According to the New York Post, these bus routes will also be cut:
The M27, from First to Eighth avenues, and the M30, from East 71st Street along Fifth Avenue to 58th Street and Eighth Avenue.
* The B39, which crosses the Williamsburg Bridge, and the B23, from 60th Street to Flatbush Avenue.
* The Q74, which will strand 2,100 passengers riding from Kew Gardens to Queens College.
* The Bx14, which served the Country Club section of The Bronx.
