On Sunday August 30th, there will be changes to Routes 103 and Blue line.  These routes will revert to the schedules and service corridors used before the summer detour schedules launched in June.  This change will have route 103 staying on Grand avenue through Spirit Valley/Lincoln Park, and see the return of the Blue Line serving UMD (aside from active detours that will affect these routes into fall).

Additionally, Superior will see the addition of a new local route, Route 210, returning service to portions of South Superior, connecting that neighborhood with all other Superior routing.  This routing addition is a first phase of the plan to provide more service to Superior, pending the addition of more drivers.   The 210 will operate seven days per week except on holidays. Service will run approximately 6:00 am to 10:00 am, and 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm, much in the way recently added Route 111 operates.

Here are previews of the schedules for the three routes mentioned above:

Blue Line Schedule  effective Sunday, August 30th

Route 103 Schedule  effective Sunday, August 30th

Route_210 Schedule  effective Sunday, August 30th
