KINGSTON – The Kingston city bus system, merged effective Monday into Ulster County Area Transit got off to a good start with Mayor Steven Noble and County Executive Patrick Ryan taking a ride.
Both gave the service good grades noting it will provide better runs, more frequency and even comes with Wi-Fi.
The new routes have been developed based on ridership data along with survey responses. In addition, Demand Response zones have been created to service riders outside the immediate transit coverage area to a transfer hub in order to connect with regular bus routes.
Riders can download the UCAT app (available at Google Play and Apple iTunes) which provides real-time location of the buses, estimated arrival times, arrival notifications, route maps and schedules. In addition, the new weekday and Saturday routes and schedules for buses in Kingston can be viewed online at http://ulstercountyny.gov/ucat/bus-schedules
