Bus driver shortage drives Metro Transit to change 18 bus routes beginning March 21

[progree]

1. Ya scared me. I feared it was my Metro Transit (Twin Cities)

we pared down several routes a few months ago because of bus driver shortages, and the resulting unscheduled unpredicatable (as to which ones and where) cancellation of hundreds of individual trips each day.

Fortunately, in the past month or so, we've had very few of these unscheduled individual trip cancellations, judging from my monitoring of a very busy route (#14) and what someone at Metro Transit said about another super-busy route (#3).
