There was a broken down train causing issues in the system. It has since been fixed and regular service is resuming. There may still be some delays this morning due to weather-related issues though. Sorry for the inconvenience. -JN

Sorry for the issues this morning. Weather and mechanical issues caused some issues with the trains this morning. We were working on replacement buses while the issue was sorted out, but the mechanical issues have since been resolved. There may still be some delays this morning due to icing. -JN

Thanks for the heads up. Looking at the raw data on the spreadsheet linked on that page, it definitely doesn't match up with the chart. I will pass this along so it can be fixed. -JN

Does the cost of filling your tank take your breath away? There’s another way to get where you need to go. While prices at the pump may jump, local bus fare remains just $2.

See how easy it is to ride instead of drive!
