And the news was… No service changes! 🚍

With remote work ending for most state employees, myself included, and schools going fully back to inperson, I was sure that they would restore full bus service during rush hours, bringing back the 15 or 20 minutes service to CDTA Route 18 and restoring the express Route 719.

But it didn’t happen.

Maybe the authority is taking a wait and see approach come next week and see how truly much passengers return come September. Some customers after all might be uncomfortable riding the bus at this point with Delta, and are driving to work. Other riders might have tragically secumb to the virus. A few might still have the remote option although that seems few and far apart for students and state workers.

Its hard to say. They did bring back the school and college shuttles but no other changes to service levels. So I guess there were some changes but no big ones for sure.
