Reduced Ovington Commuter Express service will return today on some bus routes. All bus routes except 4 Newton will be in service by 3:00pm this afternoon. Buses run on a reduced Saturday schedule with off peak fares all day. There is no surcharge for crossing the city line until Monday AM rush, or when full service is restored, whichever comes first.
Service is expected to return to diesel commuter lines C, and D by Thursday. Service on electric commuter lines A, and B, and diesel commuter line E is expected to return as the tracks are cleared, and in the case of the A and B lines, that the catenary and substations are safe to use. Bustitution will be provided for lines B, C, and D. For alternative service on line A, use the line B substitute bus between Central and Climax Avenue. For service between Climax Avenue and Berlynne Ferry, you're out of luck. The R159 bridge over the Bayview River is shut by the Bayview Department of Transportation. Sorry. For alternative service on line E, you're also out of luck. No offense, but we would run substitute bus service if fewer of you drove to the Airport and instead took the train all the way. That's why there's no weekend service there. That's about it for now. We are trying to provide our best possible service to you, even if it causes problems.
