DETROIT (WXYZ) — The Detroit Department of Transportation (DDOT) announced Friday new bus schedules and service adjustments will be added to increase routes by aligning bus timetables with travel times to better meet the needs of its riders.
DDOT riders will begin to see the changes implemented on April 24.
The expansion of service will “add both morning and evening runs to multiple routes all over the city. DDOT’s Department of Scheduling and Service regularly reviews ridership patterns and its roster of available bus operators and makes such adjustments several times per year and relies on community feedback to help inform route changes and/or additions,” DDOT said in a press release Friday.
