The Rapid bus service will scale down its service beginning tomorrow (Tuesday, March 24) morning. Here's what the new schedule looks like.

On their web page this morning, The Rapid announced the curtailing of several routes and the merging of others in preparation for the 'Shelter In Place' ruling expected to come from the State of Michigan later today.

Beginning Tuesday, March 24, 2020, The Rapid will implement a reduced service schedule effective seven days a week. This schedule will remain in place until further notice.

The reduced service schedule was created with the goal of continuing to provide critical transit access to medical destinations including local hospitals, pharmacy and grocery service, and employment centers for individuals that are still reporting to their place of work. In addition, core ridership locations and travel patterns have been tracked for the last 10 days and have been factored into this schedule to ensure that it matches current demand to the greatest extent possible. Schedule details are as follows:

  • Service will run seven days per week from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
