Don't forget about Metro's latest service "improvements"
Metro has posted a press release reminder of some impending service changes, otherwise known as "improvements":
METRO also will launch a new bus route - the 59 Aldine Mail Crosstown - to serve the Aldine community in north Houston. The new route will offer weekday service from 5:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Buses will run on a 30-minute frequency during morning and afternoon peak hours and a 60-minute frequency during the midday. A portion of this new route replaces the 54 Aldine/Hollyvale route, which will be discontinued May 29. Due to the Memorial Day holiday, the first day of service on the 59 Aldine Mail Crosstown will be Tuesday, May 31.
The 59 Aldine Mail Crosstown offers access to nine schools in the Aldine Independent School District, two public libraries, grocery stores, a health clinic and a Social Security office. The route also offers connections to the 6 Jensen, 56 Airline Ltd, 66 Yale (to be renumbered the 8 Yale, effective May 29), 83 Lee Road Circulator and 102 Bush IAH Express bus routes.
Other service changes slated to go in to effect on Sunday, May 29, include the addition or discontinuation of select trips on several routes as well as schedule modifications. For more information on the May 29 service changes, call METROLine at 713-635-4000.
Well, well. Isn't that interesting? In this release Metro doesn't list most of the service changes or provide a link to the previous announcement that listed the changes. A couple are in the press release, but for further details, riders are instructed to call MetroLine.
Is that the same Metro hotline that Laurence Simon describes here?
And, as always, we wonder how Metro is doing with its promised 50% increase in bus service? Maybe that's a typo on the Metro Solutions recap page. Maybe it should say Metro plans a 50% reduction in bus service.
