KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – With the busy Christmas shopping season underway, Metro will be temporarily adding extra buses to three major routes during the month of December.
Beginning Monday, December 15 and running through Sunday, December 28, Metro will offer additional bus service between the hours of 10:00 a.m.- 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday on the following routes:
1 – Westnedge
9 – Gull Rd
14 – West Main
“These routes serve major retail areas and therefore have some of our highest ridership rates,” said Executive Director Sean McBride. “People are going to work; people are going shopping. The holidays increase the need for transportation to these areas. Increasing service to match those needs keeps our community moving.”
“This service addition is designed to help our community during the busiest shopping season of the year. We recognize that traffic and weather cause delays to bus routes and we want to keep the community moving as safely and efficiently as possible,” added Metro Director of Operations Keshia Woodson-Sow. “This is also an opportunity for more people in our community to explore what Metro can do.”
Officials with Metro say they are on track to provide two million rides across their four transportation services at the end of 2025. The Metro Bus system, public transportation’s flagship service, works together with Metro Link, Metro Connect and Metro Share.
