LTD Increases Service Starting September 9
Lane Transit District will increase its Monday through Friday bus service, by about 8%, effective Monday, September 9. This new weekday schedule runs until February 2025. Weekend bus service schedules will remain the same.
“Many routes are being modified so passengers will need to double check their bus schedule to make sure they know when their bus will arrive,” said Anni Katz, LTD’s Public Information Officer. “The reasons for the increase are twofold: we’re seeing increased ridership demand and more importantly, we have hired a lot more bus operators.” Katz added, ”LTD’s massive recruitment effort over the last several months has been a success. Even now, LTD is still adding people to the team.”
Minor adjustments were made to most LTD routes. Weekday EmX frequency will increase from 15 to 10 minute service for the majority of the day. Evening service on the 79X will now operate from 7:20 a.m. to 5:50 p.m. (The extended service until 9:30 p.m. was funded by the University of Oregon ASUO.)
