Community Transit to Further Reduce Service on Monday, April 13
Snohomish County, Wash. Community Transit will further reduce bus trips on Monday, April 13 to align with current ridership levels during the COVID-19 pandemic. The agencys new reduced service schedule will represent a total reduction of approximately 30% over regular bus service levels.
Transit remains essential for many in our community who are working critical front line jobs, said Community Transit CEO Emmett Heath. During this crisis, a number of bus trips are seeing little or no ridership at certain times of the day, so we are temporarily canceling some of those trips to operate more efficiently and focus on routes that riders are using for essential travel.
Last week Community Transits total boardings were down 71% when compared to February 2020.
Service Reduction
Key features of the plan include:
All trips on Route 247 (Stanwood to Boeing) will be canceled due to several days of no ridership.
The following routes will reduce to one trip in each direction due to very low ridership: Routes 107, 227, 412, 435 & 821.
