UCAT Launches New Sunday Bus Service in Kingston Starting March 1

New ‘2S Route’ will Connect Stony Run, Kingston Plaza, Midtown, the Rondout, and Kingston Point

KINGSTON, NY – Beginning Sunday, March 1, Ulster County Area Transit (UCAT) will launch new Sunday service in the City of Kingston. The new route — 2S: Kingston Local Sunday Service — will connect key residential areas and destinations, including Stony Run, Kingston Plaza, the Broadway corridor in Midtown, the Rondout, and Kingston Point.

Service begins at 8 AM at Stony Run, with five runs throughout the day, ending with the last stop at Kingston Point Beach at 5:45 PM.

“I’m excited to announce this expansion of service, which will give residents and visitors more opportunities to shop and get around on public transit, and will connect all three downtown areas of Kingston, benefiting our local businesses in Uptown, Midtown, and the Rondout,” said Ulster County Executive Jen Metzger. “The new Sunday service also stops at Kingston Point Beach, providing a convenient and cost-effective way to enjoy the park year-round.”

In addition to expanding service, this route will act as a pilot for implementing the 2025 Route Optimization Plan (ROP). The schedule is a modified version of “Route 2” proposed in the ROP. Rider and driver feedback and other service monitoring data acquired from this pilot will inform future ROP route rollouts in Kingston, and across the County.
