BELLINGHAM, Wash. — WTA has begun limiting the number of people that can ride its fixed-route buses.
WTA is limiting fixed-route buses to no more than 12 passengers at a time in order to protect the health and safety of riders and drivers.
Up to 15 passengers will be allowed if those riding together are couples or parents with children.
If it appears there are already 12 people on board, the driver will ask anyone waiting at the stop to wait for the next bus.
When possible, WTA is running extra buses on routes with higher ridership.
WTA continues to urge people to ride the bus for essential trips only.
