Update On Upcoming Roosevelt Island Tram Weekday Off Peak Hours Service Disruptions - Renovations Being Done To Passenger Waiting Area and Red Bus Service Provided To Manhattan When Tram Not In Service
An update to yesterday's post that:
The Tram will be Out of Service for Station RenovationsI sent the following inquiry to Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC) President Leslie Torres:
During Off-Peak Hours (10:00 AM – 3:00 PM Daily)
Monday, August 20th- Friday, August, 24th
& Monday, August 27th- Friday, August 31st
What is the reason for the Tram being out of service for two weeks at daytime off peak hours during Tram Station renovations described in RIOC advisory below?RIOC's Press Spokesperson replied:
My understanding was that the Tram cabins running independently of each other would allow at least one tram cabin to operate during any Tram Station renovations.
Also, there was no mention of this Tram service outage during the July 24 Operations Committee meeting discussion on the Tram status. Has there been a new development involving the Tram since then requiring a service outage during Station renovation?
Thank you.
The renovations will be to the passenger waiting area. Our engineers determined that the safest and most efficient way to do the renovations will involve shutting down the entire system. Safety is our number-one priority.Today, received this announcement from RIOC:
The work was originally planned for September, but since we'll be shutting down the entire system during the renovation periods, we decided to move up the time-table. This will allow us to minimize the disruption by finishing the work before the school year starts and while many residents are away on summer vacation.
We are going to provide bus service during the 10 am to 3 pm window when the tram stations are closed. We realize this is a burden on the community and apologize for the inconvenience, however, renovating the stations is needed.

Think they could have timed this for two weekends where the F Train service was not disrupted...
What's the last stop on RI before the bus leaves for Manhattan? How often does it run? What's the cost? How frequently does the bus return to the island?
