Metro Bus in St. Cloud will soon change it's Dial-a-Ride call center hours.
Starting Sunday, customers will be able to schedule a ride through the call center Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. - 6:30 p.m. and from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. on the weekend. That's a difference of about 18 hours a week compared to the current schedule.
"This change has no impact on when the buses are running. It only affects when you can call to schedule or cancel a ride," said Tom Cruikshank, Metro Bus Managing Director of Operations & Planning.
Metro Bus says the new hours will give workers more time to organize rides the following day. Dial-a-Ride is a door-through-door, driver-assisted, shared ride service for individuals whose disabilities prevent them from being able to ride the fixed route service.
