Santa Cruz Metro has announced a revised schedule, free transit, and reduced schedules in response to the health pandemic.
In a press release issued by Metro CEO Alex Clifford, the following changes are starting Monday (March 23) until further notice:
- School Term bus service such as several UCSC campus or Cabrillo College Express (91x) routes are dropped.
- Entering and exiting through the rear door of the bus is required, unless it is an older model that cannot launch the door, or a passenger with disabilities.
- Fares will no longer be collected at this time.
- Front seating will be reserved for ADA passengers.
- Transit centers and their facilities remain closed.
- And the Weekend service schedule will become 7-days a week, meaning some routes will begin operating at a later time.
Santa Cruz Metro riders are encouraged to visit online to view these new schedules and sign up for alerts in case of further service disruptions at scmtd.com or by calling their customer service desk at 831-425-8600 to learn more.
