Service Status for Thursday, Feb. 11

UPDATED: 5:15 PM

Thursday, Feb. 11, Bus & T Status

Most Port Authority bus and T routes are in service Thursday morning, although many continue to follow detours around snow-covered streets.

Nearly 20 routes remain out of service due to poor road conditions in those areas. Riders of routes providing service this morning still should anticipate delays.

A list of bus and T routes anticipated to be out of service, or on a detour, is posted below.

The T system experienced few difficulties yesterday and is serving Downtown stations (except Gateway, which is under construction). The Hampshire stop is not being served as snow had accumulated from plowing and created an unsafe condition for customers.

An overview of Port Authority's service levels for Thursday:

  • Bus service: less than 20 routes remain out of service.
  • The T: operating on a regular schedule and providing normal service to Downtown stations (except Gateway, which is closed during construction). The 52 Allentown light rail route is not operating.
  • Mon Incline: in service.
  • Wabash HOV: open.
