Press Release for October 7, 2020 Metro Bus Service

Metro Service Changes Starting Wednesday, October 7

Kalamazoo, MI – Starting Wednesday, October 7, Metro will be reducing service to the Kalamazoo community due to precautions as a result of COVID-19 and a shortage of Metro staff for the fixed route system. These reductions are necessary to provide safe and consistent service to the community.

Effective Wednesday, October 7, the following buses will provide hourly service with no quarter-to-the hour service:

1-Westnedge, 2-Portage, 9-Gull Road, 14-West Main, 16-Lovell

The 12-Duke will not operate until further notice.

The 25-Parkview Campus bus will follow the Friday time schedule with one bus in service.

Riders should monitor changes to Metro’s schedule this week as routes are adjusted. Specific route information including modified schedules and regular updates on your public transportation is available at www.kmetro.com, through the myStop mobile app, and Facebook (Metro Transit).

Metro continues to thoroughly cleans buses and requires passengers to wear masks that cover both nose and mouth, use hand sanitizer when boarding, and socially distance while riding. Riders should use Metro only when essential at this time.

Additional temporary service changes to the fixed route system will be announced later in the week.

In compliance with Senate Bill 1108 and temporary suspension of the Open Meetings Act, the November 9, 2020 CCTA/KCTA Regular Board Meeting will be held electronically via Zoom. Instructions will be available on the CCTA/KCTA web packet prior to the meeting. The next CCTA/KCTA Board Meeting will be held on December 14, 2020.
