MTA is set to restore B37 bus to Third Avenue
Bus riders from Bay Ridge to downtown Brooklyn and everywhere in between were jumping for joy on Tuesday after it was learned that the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s board of directors was poised to vote to restore the B37 bus.
The MTA will vote on the restoration of the B37 and other transit lines at its next meeting on July 24.
Councilman Vincent Gentile (D-Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights-Bensonhurst) broke the news about the return of the B37 Monday night by issuing a statement to the media. “Tonight I am proud to say the B37 is back!” Gentile stated. “This is a major win for Brooklyn – for seniors, students, the disabled and businesses along the corridor – from Bay Ridge to Prospect Heights – for people who need to get to work, doctor’s appointments, schools and houses of worship – this route is essential. I can’t wait to take my first ride on the beloved B37!” he said.
