Free Loop will operate Sundays

Dutchess County Public Transit next month will begin offering Sunday service on the Beacon Free Loop, provide more frequent service along the Route 9 corridor and expand the hours of its curb-to-curb “flex” service.

The agency also is promoting a new mobile app, SPOT, that provides real-time schedules and tracks bus locations.

The flex service will expand to weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Call 845-473-8424 to book a ride. Along with Sunday service on the Free Loop (Route G), which begins Jan. 5, the agency will add eight trips between Poughkeepsie and Beacon (Route B) so that buses arrive hourly and extend service on Route F (Beacon to Hopewell Junction) until 10 p.m. The new timetables are available at dutchessny.gov.

It ought to be noted that, with the new schedule, the Beacon Free Loop will lose its 7:56 p.m. and 8:22 p.m. departures from the train station. The last bus will leave at 7:30 p.m. — a pretty sizeable loss.
