This is fantastic news — better than we thought! In case you missed it, Dutchess County Public Transit announced the route modifications that will take effect on January 4, 2025. Thanks to YOU speaking out, we preserved the Loop Bus route. But better yet, we also now have SUNDAY SERVICE! 

Look at what is new with the G Route "Loop Bus" here: https://www.dutchessny.gov/Departments/Public-Transit/Public-Transit.htm.

Monday through Saturday, the bus runs 24 times a day, starting at 6:00 a.m. and ending at 7:30 p.m. On Sundays, it runs 13 times, starting at 10:25 a.m. and ending at 5:15 p.m.

In case you missed it, there is also a new bus app called ETA-SPOT. This app lets you plan your trips, track your bus in real time, and discover new mobility options. (The old app was discontinued in September.)

Thank you so much to everyone at Dutchess County Public Transit for listening to our concerns and preserving and improving the bus route! They can be reached at publictransit@dutchessny.gov if you have any other questions or concerns about the bus.

To keep this route going, we also received much help from County Legislator Yvette Valdés Smith, County Legislator Nick Page, City Council Member Dan Aymar-Blair, Mayor Lee Kyriacou, and City Administrator Chris White. Thanks to them for their support and guidance. 

We also need to thank everyone who started this bus in 2019. Their hard work and vision are why the City of Beacon residents have this free transit option in the first place.

Last but not least, thank you so much to YOU! Everyone who signed this petition, attended the public comment meetings, wrote to their elected officials, and spread the word to friends and neighbors are why we will keep this service. We have an incredible community here!
I look forward to seeing you on the bus in 2025. As we advance, you have one more mission: Don't keep the Loop Bus a secret; let everyone know the Loop Bus will take you where you need to go!
