Kris Kolluri, the state transportation commissioner, said the project would enable the station to serve more riders.

The service was founded in 1987 and served approximately 225,000 riders in 2009.

The bus line serves more than 10,000 riders in the Bronx.

Plans are underway for a three station underground light rail line, expected to serve 78,000 daily riders by 2030.

It is expected to serve 14000 daily riders.

Those companies are subsidized by the city and the state, and serve 115,000 riders daily.

In 2004, it served more than 3 million riders.

The three lines serve 165,000 riders, who have been left scrambling for alternate ways to commute to Manhattan.

Many, he added, would serve far more riders than the airport link.

Ridership on the N6, which now serves 14,175 riders on an average weekday, has grown 29 percent in the past decade.
