Our most popular subscription category is bus-route specific alerts. When construction or severe weather impact service, when major stops are impacted or we’re considering service changes, you’ll hear from us. Our "snow plan" calls for posting alerts by 5 a.m. and 2 p.m. weekdays to notify rbus iders of any service changes prior to peak commute times.
You won’t hear from us when your bus is occasionally delayed by traffic or other problems. That’s because at this time we do not have real-time information about all 200+ buses we have out on hundreds of miles of roadways. We are not able to notify passengers of minor delays or unexpected, temporary service disruptions or cancellations.
