Transit Changes Scheduled September 8

Cedar Rapids Transit will be implementing route and schedule changes to the city bus routes starting Tuesday, September 8. The changes will focus on improving the existing fixed-route bus service by streamlining routes, reducing travel times, shifting service from lower-use to higher-use areas, and adding service frequency.

The additional service frequency will include morning and afternoon peak service on all hourly routes that depart from the Ground Transportation Center. Those routes will have 30-minute service from 6:15 - 8:15 a.m. and 12:15 - 5:15 p.m. The increased frequency will provide additional passenger capacity during peak ridership times.

COVID-19 Safety Protocol
Passenger capacity limits will remain at 15 passengers per bus. Fare collection remains suspended at this time; however, fare collection and front-door boarding is anticipated to begin later this fall when protective driver shields are installed on all buses.

Face coverings (mask, bandana, neck gaiter, or scarf) are required to be properly worn on the bus.
