The Capital District Transportation Authority announced service enhancements in response to an increase in ridership during peak time periods.
Effective Oct. 1, the CDTA added service on a pair of routes. Increased ridership associated with CDTA’s universal access agreement with Hudson Valley Community College warranted adding morning trips to Route #224, while additional morning and evening service on Route #737 aims to benefit an influx of new workers within Corporate Woods.
