CityBus will begin operating a new schedule October 13, 2024.
Why the change?
CityBus is updating the running time for all of its routes. The most recent schedule in May caused a number of on time performance issues. This new schedule should correct those issues resulting in a more reliable service overall. Another major change is the frequency of the Route 1. Due to operational hurdles the Route 1 will now operate on an irregular frequency. Buses will depart the Transit Mall on the hour, fifteen after the hour, and forty-five after the hour. In addition, to make the schedule work from an operational standpoint Transit Mall departure time have been adjusted on a number of routes. Please refer to the section below on specific changes to each of the Routes. All these changes are temporary and as it is the goal of CityBus to return to pre-pandemic levels of service as soon as possible. If you have specific questions or need help with trip planning, you can call our customer service staff at 707-543-3333.
