Metro Implementing Additional Service Adjustments Starting Monday, June 14

Kalamazoo, MI – Metro has adjusted service as a result of COVID-19 related reasons over the past fifteen months. Service changes beginning on Monday, June 14 include:

• Additional seating for passengers. Buses will have all seats available for passenger use.

• Hourly service on routes 1-Westnedge, 5-East Main and 15-Paterson.

• Saturday service hours from 8:15 am to 4:15 pm. The start and end times will impact Saturday service only.

“We appreciate the public’s patience while we continue to make service adjustments. Like many employers throughout the region and across the country, we are having to make service adjustments to accommodate our current staffing level. Metro plans to have service times and days back to pre-COVID levels as fast as we can while being mindful of the impacts COVID has had in our community,” stated Sean McBride, Executive Director for Metro.

Metro is hiring Coach Operators with an excellent benefit package as well as free Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) training. Applicants can apply online at kmetro.com/employment or contact Metro’s Senior Human Resources Generalist at (269) 337-8421 or deyoungc@kmetro.com.

Monday through Friday service hours remain 6:15 am to 10 pm. Federal law requires riders to continue to wear a mask that covers their nose and mouth on trains, airplanes, and buses. Rear door boarding and no fare collection continues until a future date to be announced later this summer.
