ANN ARBOR, Mich. – On Tuesday, Aug. 4., the Ann Arbor Area Transportation Authority (TheRide) kicked off a month-long series of virtual public town hall meetings to discuss temporary changes in services that begin Aug. 30.
In June, TheRide announced a series of temporary service changes, including a revised network of bus routes and increased frequency of buses on busy routes. The revised routes are designed to prioritize essential destinations so as to reflect realities during the COVID-19 pandemic.
