UPDATE 5:51pm:

As conditions improve, MTA is expanding local bus services on Tuesday, January 27th, including CityLink routes, all LocalLinkbus routes, and Express Bus #163, which serves Tradepoint Atlantic.

Routes may continue to operate with detours if local streets remain difficult to access due to lingering snow and ice, limited roadway width, or safety and accessibility concerns.

The MTA will continue to monitor conditions and adjust service as conditions improve.
Employee availability may also impact service levels.
