X13 & X14 Consolidation
With the service cuts only days away, expect the MTA to be issuing reminders of what services will be cut, consolidated, etc… They started this off by issuing a reminder of the X13 & X14 express bus consolidation that will take effect this Sunday. Here are the details via the press release they sent me:
As part of the 2010 service reductions effective Sunday, June 27, 2010, the X13 route will be discontinued. Accordingly, the X14 express bus service will be re-routed to serve downtown Manhattan and then continue service to midtown. The X14 will now provide weekday service on Battery Place, State Street, Water Street, and Pearl Street.
Manhattan-bound, the X14 will travel its regular route to the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel, then south on West Street, east on Battery Place, south and east on State Street, north on Water Street and Pearl Street, then onto the northbound FDR Drive to resume its regular route to west Midtown.
Staten Island-bound, the X14 will travel its regular route to the FDR Drive at East 23rd Street, travel southbound to the Brooklyn Bridge-Civic Center exit, north and west on State Street, west on Battery Place, north on West Street and through the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel. It then resumes its regular route towards Port Richmond.
New stops on the northbound route (all existing X8 bus stops):
Battery Place at State Street
Water Street at State Street
Water Street at Hanover Square
Water Street at Wall Street
Water Street at Maiden Lane
Pearl Street at Fulton Street
Pearl Street at Peck Slip
