New Roosevelt Island Red Bus Stop At Tram Station And Route To Be Implemented January 18


Just received the following Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC) advisory:
Please be advised, effective January 18th, RIOC will implement two Red Bus stops near the Tram station: one on the East side of the Tram, opposite Firefighter’s Field, the other across the street from the Roosevelt Island Historical Society kiosk. The bus stops will also be serviced by the Q102 and will have bus shelters.

For a map of the new bus stops and routes, please visit

The new bus stop on the East Side of the Tram Station is currently used by Tram worker to park their cars pictured below



and here is the new bus stop adjacent to the Visitors Center Kiosk


 More information on the new Red Bus Route and Bus Stops from this previous post.

Note with interest that the stop adjacent to the kiosk is much shorter than the stop at the tram entrance. If/when the drivers learn to use a short stop maybe the red bus can just go back around the circle and proceed to the West Drive (savig both time and gas).

This is a great idea. Now the buses will always pick-up and discharge passengers on the curbside. No more crossing the street 'all over the place'. Yay!
