Village of South Blooming Grove Shuttle

Dear Village Residents,

We are excited to announce that starting TODAY, Monday, March 20, 2023, our new shuttle service will be up and running!

We have hired a manager for the buses, Mr. Dov Guttman, who will be overseeing the Shuttle Service.

Ticket books can be purchased at Village Hall and on the Shuttle.

In the coming days and weeks, we will be adjusting the routes and schedules based on your feedback, so please let us know what you think.

To access information on pricing, scheduling, and to submit feedback to the transit department, please call us at 845-782-2600 extension 600. You can also listen to the schedules to plan your transportation accordingly.

We are thrilled to offer this service to the community, and we hope it makes your daily commute easier and more convenient.

This initiative also furthers our initiative to reduce the amount of vehicles travleing village roads and to help reduce traffic and congestion in our Village.

Thank you for your support, and we look forward to hearing your feedback.

Sincerely,

George Kalaj
