Currently, the Moss route operates on a 20 minute headway during the morning and afternoon peak periods and a headway of 40 minutes during the mid-day. With this new change, the Moss route will run 20 minutes all day from Monday through Friday. "Since launching the new route structure on Monday, we've seen standing room only on the Moss route," said Ron Garrison, executive director of StarMetro. "By continuing 20 minute service all day, we hope to better serve our customers using this route." The Moss route serves Frenchtown, Bond Community and South City. "We saw the need. We heard our customers, and now we're making the change," added Garrison. 'Headway' refers to the length of time between buses. For example, if a route operates on a 20 minute headway, then the bus serving that route will pass by every 20 minutes. 'Peak period' refers to morning and afternoon travel times. StarMetro will continue to monitor customer input via the departmental email addresses at starmetro@xxxxxxxxxx and starmetro.marketing@xxxxxxxxxxx Customers should send questions, suggestions and concerns to these email addresses.
