PROPOSED CHANGES TO ROUTE 29 GREY LINE

Morgantown, WV- Mountain Line Transit Authority is proposing two changes to Route 29 Grey Line

planned to begin August 1, 2024.

The first proposed change to Grey Line is to add a stop at Mountaineer Station on all 3 trips returning

to Morgantown from Pittsburgh. The route currently stops on the outbound trip so this is to return riders to their departure location. This addition will not change any of the stop times.

The second proposed change is to push the evening trip back thirty minutes. The route currently

departs Westover Terminal at 5:20 pm and we are proposing to change it to 5:50 pm. This change is to

better align our service with Barons Bus I Ride 79 who will now be serving Parkersburg and arriving in

Morgantown later than our current departure time. Our alignment will allow a rider from Charleston or

Parkersburg to continue north to Pittsburgh on the Grey Line. This change will also push back our arrival

and departure times at the Pittsburgh Greyhound Station and Pittsburgh Airport.

We are seeking input from the public regarding these changes. A survey open until July 26, 2024 has

been posted online at RideGreyLine.org and a link will be emailed to our riders and posted on social media.

There will also be a public hearing held during the Mountain Line Board Meeting held at Westover Terminal

on July 17, 2024 at Noon until 2:30pm.
