TARC Route Changes Begin Sunday

The Transit Authority of River City is making schedule adjustments to three routes inorder to improve service and adding two trips to another route to address overcrowding. The changes take effect this Sunday (January 29).


The changes are:

• Route #18-Preston-18th Street: One trip westbound will be added leaving Fern Valley and Ulrich roads at 2:07 p.m. and heading to Dixie Highway and Heaton Roadonly. A return trip from Heaton Road to Preston Street at Broadway, leaving at 3:31 p.m., will also be added. Both trips are designed toaddress overcrowding on Route #18, which travels Dixie and Preston highways and connects downtown on Market Street (eastbound) and Jefferson Street (westbound). Buses arrive at least every 15 minutes from 6 a.m. - 9 p.m. on weekdays on the main sections of this heavily used route.
• Route #22-22nd Street: Scheduled bus arrival times at stops will change slightly to better reflect operating conditions as a result of the Sherman-Minton Bridge closing. Adjustments will be, on average, no more than a few minutes compared to the current schedule.
• Route #43-Poplar Level Road: Bus arrival times at stops will change slightly on schedules to more accurately reflect operating conditions. Bus arrival times will not vary from the current schedule, in most cases, more than a few minutes.
• Route #54x-Manslick Express: times will be adjusted to try and improve on-time performance. Most trips are changed by less than five minutes.
