Update Routes 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, and the Free Trolley - 6/19/2017 through  6/23/2017 and 6/26/2017 through 6/30/2017 -Paving work will prevent multiple routes from serving portions of Market Street. The following bus stops will not be served from service startup until 4:00 PM each day: West Market Street @ Old Preston Avenue (#11494), East Market Street @ 2nd Street NE (#11299), East Market Street @ 5th Street NE (#11309), 2nd Street SW @ the Mall Crossing (#17305).  Instead, all routes will use High Street to reach 9th Street NE.  Two temporary bus stops will be installed along High Street.  The first bus stop will be located near the intersection of 2nd Street NW.  The second bus stop will be located near the intersection of 4th Street NW.

 

Free Trolley - 6/12/2017 through 8/11/2017 - The Free Trolley will not serve McCormick Road between the McCormick Road Bridge and University Avenue.  Instead, the route will travel north on Emmet Street and turn right onto University Avenue.  A temporary times stop will be installed on University Avenue near the Newcomb Road intersection.  Trolleys departing from this stop will use the Chapel times.

Free Trolley - 3/25/2017 through August - The Free Trolley will not serve the Chemistry Building bus stop on McCormick Road (#11782).  Instead, both nights stops on either side will receive day service.

 

Route 3 - 4/7/2017 through 7/13/2017 - Construction near Belmont Park may cause intermittent service disruptions to the park's bus stop (#15887).  If the bus is unable to directly serve the shelter, drivers will let passengers board the bus on Rialto Street.

 

Route 5 - 1/27/2017 through July - Due to construction on Berkmar Drive, Route 5 is unable to serve the Sam's Club bus stop (#13283).  We anticipate this detour to continue into July.  Passengers wishing to use the route should instead use the Walmart bus stop (#13296).

 

Route 7 - 5/31/2017 until further notice - Construction near the intersection of Hillsdale Drive and Greenbrier Drive is preventing Route 7 from serving the bus stop across from the Senior Center (#16577).  Instead, a temporary bus stop has been installed near the Greenbrier at Westfield Road intersection. 

 

Route 7 - 5/22/2017 through 6/30/2017 - Construction near the Snyder Tennis Courts on Emmet Street is preventing Route 7 from serving bus stop #10660.  Instead, passengers should use the Emmet Street at Central Grounds Garage bus stop (#10472).
