Hi all,
Valley Metro email me yesterday. So this is proposed for bus network redesign adjustments.
Those route will change/elimination redesign or reduce service. Here it is:
Expand frequent weekday service from seven to 19 routes, giving an additional 238,900 residents access to bus service every 15 minutes or better.
Increase weekend service to every 15 minutes or better on 11 routes, giving an additional 349,900 residents access to more frequent weekend service.
Improve connections and reliability with more direct routes that better align with how people travel today.
Provide more Express/RAPID trips per route throughout the day by consolidating or adjusting some Express/RAPID routes to focus on key corridors.
Reduce the need to transfer by providing more direct connections to destinations that currently may require riders to change buses.
Reduce, shorten, consolidate or eliminate service on 25 lower-performing routes, with the type and extent of the proposed changes varying by route. Some routes could see reduced frequency, while others could have segments or entire routes consolidated or eliminated. Community feedback will help Valley Metro better understand the potential impacts of these changes.
