Outreach staff from Metro joined ECA for our April 2023 meeting and provided the following context and information about the transit network reorganization that will go into effect on June 11, 2023. See attachment for slides/details, but some main takeaways from the conversation were:
- The last system update was in 1998!
- This network re-org is separate from the bus rapid transit (BRT) project. BRT will be implemented along route “A” in 2024-2025.
- New routes will be up on Google Maps and Transit App starting in early May so users can plan June trips ahead of time. Updates will not be current on the BusRadar app.
- Construction adjustments: Day of launch, some of the routes will look different than they do on the map because of construction on Atwood and other places in/near Eastmorland – check the Metro website for detoured routes. Detour info may not be current on Google Maps and other apps; best way to check detour info is to go to Metro website, call customer service, or talk to driver once you are on the bus.
