Staff shortage affects bus service

A “persistent staff shortage” is causing delays in operations and “affecting the quality” of Capital Metro bus service, according to a Wednesday announcement from the transit agency. An adjustment in schedules that starts Sunday, Sept. 19, will affect how frequently each route operates. If you’re a bus rider, visit Capital Metro’s website to find out if your route is involved. Capital Metro conveys apologies for its “recent inconsistency” and hopes the changes “will improve your riding experience.” On that theme, the agency is currently recruiting bus drivers.
