Sources tell NY1 the MTA may keep running the Bx34 in Woodlawn, the Bx10 in Riverdale and Norwood, and the B25 in East New York, Fort Greene and Brooklyn Heights.

All three were slated for elimination as part of the MTA's doomsday budget, passed in an effort to close a nearly $400 million deficit.

B25 riders said they hope the bus stays on the road.

"I think it's a popular route,” said one resident. “I think a lot of people rely on that route, and I think it would be a hardship for a lot of people if it was eliminated.”

“Covers a lot of territory in Brooklyn, and there are a lot of elderly people who ride that bus. They can't take the A train, so why would they stop it?" said another. "I'm hoping and praying they continue the line."

The B25 is the only bus that services Brooklyn Bridge Park, which is scheduled to open this year following a massive renovation project.

The news is not all positive though, since cuts to reduce the deficit have to come from somewhere.

There are 21 bus routes slated for elimination.

Sources tell NY1 that more express bus routes, which mostly run between Staten Island and Manhattan and are more expensive to operate, will likely be eliminated.

City Council members say the MTA needs more transparency to solve budget problems.

"The responsibility really falls on the MTA. I think... the MTA needs to open up its books and we need to have a public review process so we can see where this money is going," said Brooklyn Councilman Stephen Levin. "We can't have cuts year after year, that's not something that I think the city can withstand."

As for subway lines, the MTA is considering eliminating the W and Z trains.

And, sources say a plan to replace the M line with the V is under serious consideration.
