B61 and B77 Buses Going Swedish: Will be Extended to Ikea

The B61 and B77 buses in Red Hook are going to be extended so that they stop at the new Ikea that will open on Beard Street. (For those who are in denial that this will happen and irrevocably change Red Hook, this is one more bit of evidence that the change is coming soon.) The changes, which are noted in an amNY story, are planned in January. There is either humor or irony in knowing that the pleasures of the B61 will soon become known by an entire new group of people trying to get to and from the Ikea store.
