Bus and subway
restorations announced
Saturday, January 23, 2010
NEW YORK (WABC) -- The MTA released a list of restorations
of service to subway and bus lines initially cut in the
agency's doomsday budget.
The new service revisions are described as "more surgical in
nature" than in the doomsday budget, which eliminated two
subway lines and dozens of bus routes.
