The Rapid

Beginning December 30, 2024, we’re making exciting improvements to better serve our customers during our winter schedule. Route 33 Enhancements: We’re closing midday gaps and adding peak-hour trips to the Walker Industrial loop to provide greater flexibility, improved access to employment, and shorter commute times. Evening Schedule Adjustments: To improve transfer connections and reduce traffic delays, evening departures for several routes will shift (or “knockback”) by 5 minutes after 5 PM. These improvements reflect our ongoing commitment to providing a dependable and customer-focused transit experience.
