Columbia Transportation

Hello everyone!

The columbia university system has undergone some changes recently, so the wiki needs some updating!

https://cptdb.ca/wiki/index.php/Columbia_University

• 2143 is in Boston permanently. The Manhattanville Shuttle is discontinued due to low ridership.
• The commuter shuttles are using 2018-20 Academy Prevosts, 2018-20 CX35/45s, and a few older C2045s, so that should be noted in the wiki
  • Also, the routes should be updated to include the 4 commuter shuttles
    • West Manhattan Commuter Shuttle - Midtown/Penn Station/34 St-9 Av to Washington Heights/CUIMC/167 St-Broadway
    • East Manhattan Commuter Shuttle - Lower East Side/14 St-2 Av to Washington Heights/CUIMC/167 St-Broadway
    • Brooklyn Commuter Shuttle - Downtown Brooklyn/Southside/Tillary St-Flatbush Av to Washington Heights/CUIMC/167 St-Broadway
    • Queens-Riverdale Commuter Shuttle - Corona/Citi Field to Riverdale/238 St-Riverdale Av
• 2114 appears to be the backup bus for chartered events now - it hasn't tracked in over a year. However 2115-18 do run quite regularly.
• 6405 is now assigned to the commuter shuttle, and only 6409-10 are assigned to the (newly revived) Bakers Field Shuttle, which appears to be a peak-hours-only route!

Thanks for making all these edits!

 

Best,

Hello - haven’t gotten a response here so I thought I’d check back in. 2114 is definitely retired. Also, Academy has two new (2020) nova LFS buses that may be tested on the fort lee shuttles. @Orion6025 and @Dave Mackey, since you added those to the wiki, do you know anything else about them? If they are suburbans, then it makes sense that they’d at least do a test run on the commuter shuttle, but I’m unsure. 6407-6410 are now exclusively Bakers Field Shuttle. 2995 is OUT OF SERVICE.
