IF YOU RIDE THE TRANSIT BUS IN SIOUX CITY, YOU MAY BE WALKING A FEW EXTRA BLOCKS TO CATCH A RIDE OR TO GET TO YOUR DESTINATION AFTER THE END OF YOUR RIDE.

TRANSIT SUPVERVISOR JEFF HARCUM SAYS CITY BUSES WILL NOW STOP ONLY AT DESIGNATED FIXED STOPS ON EACH BUS ROUTE:

SIGNS DESIGNATING THE STOPS HAVE BEEN POSTED AND NEW SCHEDULES EXPLAINING THE FIXED STOPS ARE BEING DISTRIBUTED TO PASSENGERS.

BUS DRIVERS STARTED TRANSITIONING TO THE NEW SYSTEM ON MAY 7TH.
