W54: Mt. Lebanon – Greentree

The W54: Mt. Lebanon – Greentree will operate just as the 38G: Greentree will. Since this route serves much in the same way, there is not much more to say about this route. Since this is a primary route, one could take it to go Downtown, however if they are close the Mt Lebanon station, that might make more sense. As with all Western routes, the W54: Mt. Lebanon – Greentree will have to follow a set pattern that is not the current Downtown routing.
