Pierce Transit considers eliminating hundreds of bus stops in hopes of faster service
Craig Sailor, The News Tribune
Pierce Transit is considering the elimination of 407 bus stops — nearly 20% — across Pierce County in an effort to make bus travel more efficient. First, it wants to hear from riders.
The transit agency pitched the plan, called Bus Stop Balancing, to the Tacoma City Council on Tuesday. Some 212 of the proposed retired stops would be within the city’s boundaries. The agency currently serves 2,114 stops.
The goal is to speed up bus service and produce cost savings that could lead to more service, said Pierce Transit spokeswoman Rebecca Japhet.
