Limited Saturday Bus Service Returns to Colorado Springs Community
Mountain Metropolitan Transit (MMT) will restore limited Saturday bus service to some PPRTA-funded routes beginning March 12, 2011. After an in-depth evaluation process and with an eye toward squeezing as much service as possible out of the available funding, Mountain Metropolitan Transit will restore Saturday service to routes 1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 9 (UCCS only), 12, 14 and 25. The outlying Saturday service start time will be approximately 6:30 a.m. and the end time at approximately 7 p.m. The popular downtown terminal, at 127 E. Kiowa Street, will have its first Saturday bus depart the terminal at 7:15 a.m. and the last bus of the day will depart at approximately 6:15 p.m. Detailed route information can be found on Mountain Metropolitan?s website.
"Restoring limited Saturday service to our busiest routes will be very beneficial for many of our customers. We recognize that this limited service doesn't address the needs of every customer and we hope to be able to restore Saturday service to the remaining routes when additional funding becomes available," said Craig Blewitt, director Mountain Metropolitan Transit.
