  • 81 College Park Line
    81 College Park Line Proposed Change • Route 81 runs on Sundays only. It is exactly like Route 83, but it serves Greenbelt Station instead of College Park Station. • This proposal would make Route 83 run on Sundays. The College Park Line would no longer serve Greenbelt Station on Sundays. • All service on the College Park Line would serve College Park Station seven days a week. Reason for the Change: • These will the make the College Park Line easier to understand. Service from Cherry Hill Campground will go to College Park Station seven days a week. Alternative Transportation Options: • Route C2 serves Greenbelt Station. It currently runs Monday through Saturday. We plan to add Sunday service to Route C2 to replace Route 81 service at Greenbelt Station. 81 College Park Line Cambio propuesto • El itinerario 81 funciona únicamente los domingos. Es exactamente igual al itinerario 83, pero presta servicio en Greenbelt Station en vez de College Park Station. • Esta propuesta implicaría que el itinerario 83 funcione los domingos. La Línea College Park no prestaría servicio en Greenbelt Station los domingos. • Todo el servicio de la Línea College Park prestaría servicio en College Park Station los siete días de la semana. Motivo del cambio: • Esto haría a la Línea College Park más fácil de entender. El servicio de Cherry Hill Campground irá a College Park Station los siete días de la semana.
