The Bus change

If you ride the bus than you are aware of the bus schedule and routes. But recently The Bus has been considering revising the route schedules and discontinuing some routes altogether. One such example is the  C country express bus, which goes from Makaha to Ala Moana and serves has a important link for those living on the Leeward side of the island to connect to Honolulu. currently the routes run every 30 minutes on weekdays and weekends. At times the C bus can be overcrowding, but with the proposed changes the bus is considering to make the C bus run  every 45 minutes on the weekdays and the weekends the bus will only run every hour. making the buses crowded more than ever. What makes the C bus a really great route is that it takes the freeway from Kapolei all the way to Dillingham saving time for the commuters only taking 40 minutes to reach downtown.  the other option would be to take 40 bus which takes the city streets  and takes at least 1 hour and 30 minutes.  But fortunately nothing has been set in stone, the Bus will be holding meetings to get the public's reaction on the proposed changes. the C bus is not the only route being affected if you are a bus rider than please visit
www.thebus.org and see if your bus route is being affected.

  1. Great information as I've been keeping up with this story. I haven't rode the Bus since I was junior high. Now with the economy as such, I'm looking to ride the Bus for next semester! Thanks for posting!

  2. I wish all the buses ran more often, I feel like we're always waiting for them and they're always so crowded, especially going between downtown and Waikiki, where many students commute from. Thanks for keeping us updated!
