Reduced Bus Schedule Today

In observance of Veterans Day today, Metro bus is running on a reduced schedule today. You can check it out here.

This reduced weekday schedule will also be in effect on several holidays from now through January – including a full week of reduced service at the end of December.

"These are planned reductions for holiday periods where Metro has historically seen 20-40 percent fewer weekday riders. Also, on several of the upcoming legal holidays, Metro will use a Sunday schedule."

"This schedule is being used on 10 days in 2009, and is estimated to save Metro more than $1 million each year," says the Metro website.

Here is an overview of the holiday service schedule.

Fortunately it doesn't appear as if route number 25 that services Laurelhurst is located on the cancellation or reduced route list for any holidays. However, route 70 and 75 running in this area, do show as having some cancellations for holidays.
