Local bus routes that operate with buses every 30-minutes during the peak hours of 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and from 3 p.m. to 6.pm. will be reduced to hourly. Routes with existing hourly service will remain unchanged, both during peak hours and during midday hours and evenings. Express routes will be reduced to two trips during each peak period.
