There will be major schedule and route changes to MTS bus services in June 2006. Most of these changes are part of MTS’ goal of improving service where it is warranted by demand, and discontinuing poorly performing services. The changes were approved by the MTS Board of Directors after three public hearings in March 2006. A summary of the service changes that will take place in June 2006 is included here.
The following service changes will take effect as follows: Sunday/Holiday schedule changes take effect on Sunday, June 11, 2006, and Weekday schedule changes take effect on Monday, June 12, 2006. All fares remain the same except where noted. Please be sure to pick up a new timetable for the routes with changes. Timetables will also be posted here once they become available.
