Bus to Replace Dinky Shuttle for Two Weekends for Arts and Transit Project Construction
The Dinky shuttle between downtown Princeton and the Princeton Junction train station will be replaced by a bus for two weekends due to the construction of the new Princeton station that is part of Princeton University’s $320 million arts and transit project, NJ Transit has announced.
The bus will replace the Dinky the weekends of June 15-16 and June 22-23. Buses will depart from locations near the rail platform at both Princeton Junction and Princeton stations. Buses bound for Princeton Junction will depart the Princeton station up to 30 minutes earlier than regularly scheduled Dinky shuttle times. Bus trips are scheduled for approximately 25 minutes with 7-10 minutes allowed for connections between buses and trains at Princeton Junction.

Just in time to maximize the inconvenience for the hapless Princeton residents who have events (think weddings) in June!
Way to go Princeton University: Wait until your own events are over and then display your utter indifference to the life of the community by stopping weekend train service in the height of spring/summer.
