OmniRide told us today just before 2 p.m. that the transit agency was able to operate regular service and did not active its emergency service plan, as it had planned to do on Friday, December 11, 2020.
“OmniRide ran regular service today because we determined early this morning that we had a sufficient number of bus operators to run regular service,” said OmniRide spokeswoman Christine Rodrigo.
The emergency service plan was a precaution after OmniRide had witnessed other regional transit agencies experience a high volume of drivers call out sick, including the Greater Richmond Transit Company in Richmond.
