Bus Routes Spared, But Service Cuts Possible

By Dan Rivoli

New York City Transit released a new plan for service cuts Jan. 21, with the goal of saving $77.6 million. Upper West Side residents will bear less of the pain they would have endured under the old plan, proposed in December 2009. In the revised cuts, the M10 bus line that runs on Central Park West was saved from elimination. Overnight service through Central Park on the M79 and M96 bus lines, along with the M104, which runs along Broadway, were saved as well.
Here’s how the revised cuts will affect West Side buses and subways.
