Changes are in store for residents of Brooklyn who rely on the B61 bus line.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority says it is breaking up the route in hopes of cutting down on delays and improving service.
The line, which currently serves 18,500 riders a day, will now run from Queens Plaza to Downtown Brooklyn. Riders will then have to hop on a new second line, the B62, to travel the rest of the way from Downtown Brooklyn to Red Hook.
The agency hopes to have the plan in place by early next year.
