Additional information regarding this service change:
- We consistently monitor all bus routes to ensure we are providing the best service for our ridership with available resources. In reviewing this route, we determined that removing the off-peak mid-day service would allow us to continue providing peak morning and afternoon service for Route 150 over the summer semester and beyond.
- The changes being implemented during UF holidays and break weeks were made to bring this route in alignment with all other UF bus routes.
- TAPS will continue to evaluate all routes and make modifications as needed.
