COLTS Returns to Regular Service with 11 Route Changes Effective Monday, Oct. 5
Scranton, Pa. – The County of Lackawanna Transit System (COLTS) will return to normal service with changes to 11 of its routes on Monday, Oct. 5. 2020. The changes will make these routes more efficient and provide more service for COLTS’ passengers. The routes affected are: #14 Drinker/Chestnut, #18 Petersburg, #21 Lake Scranton/Oakmont, #26 Mohegan Sun/Wilkes -Barre VA Medical Center, #31 Old Forge/Stauffer, #36 Keyser Valley/Lafayette, #42 Olive/ Providence, #43/45 Viewmont Bangor/Viewmont Express, #52 Carbondale/North Main Ave., #53 Marywood/U of S, and #54 Green Ridge/Dickson City.
“We took time during the pandemic to resize our bus system and reconfigure routes so that they best meet demand for service,” said Bob Fiume, COLTS Executive Director. “We are constantly looking to improve our system for our riders.”
Changes include service to the Wilkes-Barre VA Medical Center, the renaming of some routes due to rerouting, combination of some routes on one paper schedule, and minor changes to routes and timetables. The #48 Dalton/Waverly/Clarks Summit and the #99 Minooka/Montage will be cancelled due to low ridership. The #48 route will be served through Demand Response Service, and employees of EDM Americas who take the #99 route will be served on the #42 Olive/Providence.
The list of changes is attached to the email with this press release, and the new schedules will be posted on coltsbus.com.
Some bay assignments, or the bays that the buses pull into and out of, will also change. The bay assignment changes will be posted on the COLTS web site at coltsbus.com.
