Other transit changes

Service adjustments are being made on 45 bus routes in total, in order to best allocate bus service to meet customer demand. Most of these routes will have service increases at busier times of the day, offset by some reductions during periods of lower demand.

Balancing bus service

Transit service changes occur every January, April, June, and September. They are based on seasonal patterns, recent trends, and customer demand. We’ll continue monitoring ridership all year to ensure bus service is provided where it’s needed most.
