Here we go again ... this will be the fifth service decrease and second fare increase since 2008
Attention Centro Customers
In an effort to help close a projected $4.8 million dollar deficit, Centro proposes the following service and fare structure changes which would become effective Monday, April 25, 2011.
Proposed Service and Fare Change Information Links
Syracuse / Onondaga County
Proposed General Service Changes:
-Change most, but not all, Saturday schedules to match Sunday schedules. Exact level of service to be determined (TBD).
-Discontinue 12:30am trips on weekdays to match late night weekend service
Proposed Specific Route Changes:
Liverpool
- Simplify the current multiple route variations along the Route 57 corridor into two routes. One will operate between Syracuse and Great Northern Mall and will also serve Casual Estates and Soule Road. The other will operate from Syracuse to Liverpool, Fulton and Oswego and will remain on NYS Route 57 between Syracuse and Fulton. The changes will result in improved travel times.
-Bayberry will be served by Centro route 148 Morgan Rd. instead of Centro Route 46
-Discontinue service to Great Northern Mall on Centro’s Liverpool-Morgan Road route
-Discontinue service into Hickory St. neighborhood on Centro’s Liverpool-Route 57 route.

The CNYRTA board approved the fare increase and service cuts with just a few modifications:
- Some Saturday service will remain on the 54 Midland, 58 Parkhill and 84 Mattydale bus lines due to the level of ridership (these routes do not operate on Sundays).
- In response to public feedback, some service will be retained on the Route 31 corridor to Great Northern Mall during weekdays on the 246 Syracuse-Oswego route.
- 26 South Ave service will be rerouted to Bellevue Ave., Onondaga Ave., Glenwood and Corcoran High School to patially replace discontinued route 56 Stolp-Strathmore.
The board also approved funding to maintain the current alignment of Auburn-Syracuse service along Howlett Hill Rd. between Camillus and Marcellus. This also means that route 36 Camillus will keep its current configuration with some trips extended from Camillus Commons to the village (these would have been replaced by the rerouted Auburn service).
A lot of riders were upset about the increase in the cash fare from $1.25 to $2.00, but regular riders will only see a 25-cent increase if they use a pass or a 10-ride card. Transfers will continue to be free. |
