SENATOR GOLDEN ANNOUNCES X28 WEEKEND EXPRESS BUS SERVICE TO START THIS SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 4TH

Brooklyn – State Senator Martin J. Golden (R-C-I, Brooklyn), a member of the Metropolitan Transit Authority Capital Review Board, today is announcing that weekend express bus service on the X 28 bus route, service Dyker Heights, Bath Beach and Bensonhurst, will officially resume service this Sunday, September 4, 2016.

“For those who have been without express bus service on the weekends in sections of Southwest Brooklyn, this Sunday will not be like any given Sunday. I am excited to announce the wait is over and weekend express bus service is back on the X 28. The return of this bus service will be great for those who work on Saturdays and Sundays, or who wish to travel to Manhattan on weekends to shop, dine or see a show. This service will also remove the barrier that has prevented seniors and the disabled from going to Manhattan on the weekends,” said Senator Golden.

Senator Golden has held countless meetings on these important transportation needs of our community, and organized a petition calling for the restoration of weekend express bus service on the X 28. The express bus service being reinstated on Sunday will operate as it did when it was reduced in June 2010. 

The service will travel on Saturday and Sundays from West 37^th Street/Surf Avenue in Brooklyn to East 57^th Street/Madison Avenue in Manhattan, from 6:00 a.m. to 8:15 p.m. towards Manhattan, and from 7:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. to Brooklyn. Sunday Service will operate from 7:00 a.m. to 7:15 p.m. toward Manhattan, and from 8:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. to Brooklyn.  The frequency will remain as was in 2010, operating every 30 to 40 minutes Saturday, and every 30 to 60 minutes Sunday.
