Exciting changes for our operations are now in effect! Fare simplification, increased frequency and rebranding are among the modifications that launched on Sunday, Sept. 15, as part of our fall service changes.
These modifications were approved by the board after careful consideration of public input received during a recent open comment period and public hearing. The board appreciates the feedback from riders and stakeholders, which played a vital role in shaping these final decisions.
The changes aim to enhance your overall riding experience by improving efficiency, on-time performance, and route frequency. Additionally, we’re excited to launch Trinity Metro’s On-Demand service in designated areas, providing a flexible and convenient transportation option. These changes are also designed to drive support for existing routes, ensuring continued reliable service across our entire network.
