Lincoln Transportation and Utilities District says five StarTran bus route service changes that began in August will continue through May 25, 2022. The following routes currently have hourly service rather than service every 30 minutes:
- 40 Heart Hospital
- 41 Havelock
- 42 Bethany
- 49 University Place
- 53 SouthPointe
Notices regarding service changes will be placed on the buses and posted on social media. Updated schedules will be available on the buses, at transit.lincoln.ne.gov, and upon request. No other transit service will be affected.
The five routes selected for service changes impact the least number of users among the regular routes that offer service every 30 minutes, says Liz Elliott, LTU Director. StarTran made the service changes due to low ridership and staff shortages caused by the pandemic, and Lincoln’s transit system continues to experience staff shortages, Elliott said.
