[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They just renamed the D31 as C87. [/quote]

So is this all ado about nothing - the bus service is still running?[/quote]

The new proposed map does have a couple of bus lines that look like they would work similarly to the current Deal/JR buses, but not all.

As you note, the D31 (which serves Shepherd Park) would likely see its riders switch to the C87.  Similarly, kids from 16th Street Heights who ride the D34 could switch to the C87.

But there doesn't appear to be a replacement for riders from Crestwood who currently take the D33 to Deal or the W45 to JR.    [/quote]

PP - sorry, meant to say that kids from 16th Street Heights who ride the D34 could switch to the C81.

[b]But as I mentioned, kids from Crestwood would not have a replacement for the D33 or W45[/b].

There are also kids in Mount Pleasant who currently take the D32.  I'm less familiar with that route so I'm not sure but maybe the C61 would work for them?[/quote]

Crestwood hasn't been in-bounds for JR in a long time. Aren't the students from Crestwood that were grandfathered in when the boundaries changed nearly all graduated by now?

Separately though I'm not sure why the C83 wouldn't be extended to go to JR/Deal. If you are coming from upper CC you would need to transfer at least once.[/quote]
