NYU trolleys will resume stop at 14th St.

NYU has modified its bus service again to add a stop at 14th Street on one route. This addition follows major changes to the bus routes earlier this semester.

The NYU Route E bus will now stop on Third Avenue in front of Coral Tower residence hall for northbound trips and between 13th and 14th streets for southbound trips. This stop will be added Mondays through Thursdays from 8 p.m. to midnight and all day Friday through Sunday.

But it seems the plan may not be in total effect: According to a WSN staff member, the bus did not stop at this new spot (at Third Avenue and 13th Street) on Sunday around 1:20 p.m.

Fred Barlow, the department's assistant director for training, transportation and administration, said the decision to restore the 14th Street stop came as a result of "careful ridership monitoring."

"Our analysis, which began with the start of the academic year, showed that reinstatement was feasible without incurring any additional costs or environmental impacts," Barlow wrote in an e-mail.

Barlow said ridership was determined by counting passengers and comparing those counts to available capacity.

With the reinstatement of the 14th Street stop, more than 300 trips will stop at the location every week, according to Barlow.

Gallatin sophomore Caroline Owen, who lives in Coral Towers residence hall, has already taken the bus twice since it began stopping at 14th Street.

"On the weekends, I like to go up to Gramercy, and I like to get down to see my friends in Greenwich Hotel," Owen said. "I feel like on the weekends, I'm more lazy."
