See How Your Bus Route Changed on September 1
Updated on September 9, 2019
On September 1, 2019, the first round of Better Bus Project service changes went into effect, with additional changes in the following months.
We know that making changes to your bus route changes how you get to work, to school, and to the places you need to go in your community—and this year, we've spoken with many of you at your stops and at community meetings to hear how you need service to be better. This first round of changes is the outcome of those conversations, along with the feedback we received from bus drivers, planners, and consultants.
These updates will make our bus system more reliable, improve frequency, and make routes easier for riders to understand.
