Some public transportation changes are coming to the Hampton Roads area.
This weekend, Hampton Roads Transit will implement annual fall schedule changes. This will impact 24 bus routes throughout the region, and the organization says they are doing this in an attempt to improve connections and boost on-time performance.
Starting on Sunday, October 27, HRT’s Route 108 will start to serve the new Newport News Transportation Center, so folks can go from the bus to the Amtrak train with ease. As well as this change on the Peninsula, Route 961 will extend service to midnight on weekdays and Saturdays, allowing residents to be able to travel to downtown Norfolk for a night out.
“Every year, HRT evaluates the efficiency of our network to provide the most optimal schedule that aligns our operator and bus resources with the needs of our customers in the six cities we serve,” said Ray Amoruso, HRT’s Chief Planning and Development Officer.
