If a new Red Line is constructed, what could happen to existing bus service in the corridor? How will the Red Line connect with MTA bus routes?
Similar to the Light Rail and the Metro, the Red Line is viewed as a “trunkline” or mainline service, providing a faster, more frequent and higher quality ride than buses on city streets. An important component of this trunkline service, however, is connecting to the rest of the transit system, including local bus routes within the corridor. Therefore, the MTA is examining existing bus routes to determine if they should be modified to serve one or more Red Line stations. Changes to existing bus service could differ, depending on the mode chosen for the Red Line, either Bus Rapid Transit or Light Rail Transit. The primary goal with any service change is to enhance accessibility to the transit system. If Light Rail Transit is selected, portions of the bus routes operating within the corridor parallel to the Light Rail Transit guideway (e.g., portions of bus routes 10, 15, 20, 23 and 40) would likely be modified to serve transit stations. Those bus lines would become “feeder” routes, oper
