Night Workers Lament Bus Cuts

One night next summer, after the last reel unwinds and the time ticks past 2 a.m., Elaine Beverly might clock out of her job at the AMC Loews multiplex near Lincoln Center, head up Broadway and, as she has for months, wait to catch the crosstown bus that carries her home to the Upper East Side.

If all goes as planned, it will never arrive.

There are four buses that currently cross Central Park in the early morning hours, a longitudinal link that acts as the sole option for east-west transportation in the 50 blocks north of 59th Street. Starting in July, only one will remain.
