The Community Connector in Bangor will be discontinuing its Saturday bus service, until further notice, beginning on Saturday, October 5, 2024, including both the fixed route and ADA paratransit service.
Officials say, additionally, Route U (Hammond Street) and Route B (Center Street) will return to their regular service Monday through Friday.
Bangor City Officials know that the decision to suspend bus service on Saturdays will inconvenience people who rely on it to get to work or school, but staffing shortages have forced their hand. Assistant City Manager Courtney O'Donnell says it was a tough decision.
Saturday service has the lowest ridership, so this move made the most sense.
The Transit Center in Pickering Square will be closed on Saturdays, effective October 5, 2024, until further notice. Officials say they will do their best to keep the center open Monday through Friday, but riders should be prepared if the building is closed. Staffing issues are making it difficult to keep the building open. Any change to the regular schedule will be posted on the Community Connector website, social media, and at the building itself.
