Farewell, Later Morning Route 719 Bus from Voorheesville. I guess May 28th is the last day for the later morning Route 719 going past my house. It was kind of nice, but really the bus ridership at that hour is pretty light, and I usually was the first person to get on. I can go back to riding that Route 18, which honestly is a bit more predictable. 

Not to mention, with the Route 18 on rainy days, there is the new bus shelter, and if I miss an earlier bus, can always take the later Route 18 which runs all day.

It was silly for them to run a bus all the way out to Altamont and Voorheesville, and the first person they would pick up was me in Delmar – when I could just as easily ride the only slightly slower and more crowded Route 18.

The past two weeks, it seems like the Route 719 never comes on certain days or is so early I miss it, I don’t know, but I can certainly understand the reason for cutting the bus. The changed bus schedule is desirable for both an environmental perspective and a financial perspective of the authority.
