BC Transit Makes Changes to Johnson City Bus Stop Locations

The Broome County Department of Transit has made changes to the Johnson City bus stop locations in an attempt to make things safer not only for pedestrians and bus riders but also to ease traffic congestion around town.

If you catch the bus in Johnson City, you need to know that the changes to the bus stops go into effect today, July 21^st, 2017. While the bus stop locations are changing, the bus service will not.

According to the office of Broome County Executive Jason Garnar, these are the changes to expect.
