Centro to Discontinue West Direct Route 60

As of Monday September 1, 2008 Centro’s Route 60 West Direct Bus route will no longer be in operation due to low ridership. The last day of service will be August 30, 2008.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and we urge customers to consult schedules for the 74 Solvay, 36 Camillus and 78 Fairmount bus lines to find alternate routes to/from your destinations.

Customers with questions should contact Centro's Customer Service Office at 442-3400.

Update from the Centro website:

Centro adds service to Elbridge, North Syracuse, and Central Square; Discontinues West Direct Route 60

In response to increased demand for suburban bus services, Centro will add commuter trips to Elbridge, North Syracuse, and Central Square beginning September 2, 2008.

The changes to North Syracuse include operating a local 88 North Syracuse trip leaving downtown at 4:15pm combined with a complimentary express 388 Central Square bus trip leaving downtown at 4:18pm serving the further reaching suburbs of Cicero, Brewerton and Central Square. In addition, Centro is adding another local 88 North Syracuse trip leaving downtown at 5:40pm. Service to the Route 31-Lakeshore Road spur, which had previously been operated as an “on-request” service, has been eliminated from the 188 North Syracuse route.

Centro is extending select trips to serve Elbridge. A trip leaving Elbridge at 6:10am and arriving downtown at 6:45m has been added to the 36 Camillus bus line. A return service leaving downtown at 4:40pm arriving in Elbridge at 5:30pm has also been added. Both of these trips will also serve Upstate Medical University. Customers in Elbridge can find these trips listed on the 36 Camillus and 236 Auburn public timetables.

Centro’s 60 West Direct Bus route will be discontinued due to low ridership. Centro urges customers to consult the schedules for the 74 Solvay, 36 Camillus and 78 Fairmount bus lines to find alternate routes to/from destinations.

The updated schedules are now on the website - the new service expansion to Elbridge has been designated as route 336 CAMILLUS-ELBRIDGE.

The last route 60 run was operated on Saturday August 30th using Orion V CNG #9974. I'll post a few pics once I get the film developed.

I believe there is also a No.523 line as well. I got my set of Centro schedules the other day. Got Syracuse's ok, but never seem to be able to get Utica's for some reason. Need them for use in one of my books.
