Changes to seven bus routes in Louisville go into effect this Sunday, January 31, the Transit Authority of River City (TARC) has announced. “Most of the service changes involve minor adjustments to pick-up times in response to traffic conditions and delays,” TARC said in a press release. Here’s the full list of service changes.
- Route #4 – Fourth Street — Between Central Ave. and the end of the route, southbound trips will arrive 2-3 minutes later and northbound trips will arrive 2-3 minutes earlier on all days. Pick-up times north of Central Ave. will NOT be affected.
- Route #15 – Market Street — Lagrange Road trips will be adjusted to serve the Hurstbourne Green development, UPS Drive and Ormsby Station Rd, including Teleperformance USA and Charter Communications. Eastbound trips from Lagrange Road will travel into the development via UPS Drive, Ormsby Station Road and Hurstbourne Parkway. Service will be provided seven days a week on this new routing. Departure times are adjusted slightly on only a few trips.
- Route #17 – Bardstown Road — There are minor time adjustments at stops on weekdays only: Westbound trips leaving Fern Creek at 11:02 am and 2:56 pm will depart five minutes later. The eastbound trip leaving 8th and Jefferson Street at 12:06 pm will also leave five minutes later. Afternoon arrival times will change slightly on Bardstown Rd. between Douglass Blvd. and Fern Creek. Check schedule for adjusted arrival times.
