Buses temporarily adjusted their routes.
In a recent announcement, City Transportation Systems has revealed that it will temporarily suspend services on several routes, namely NoNo 2, 3, 18, 30, 40, 58, and 61, at specific stops, 'Toyota Service Center' and 'Charles de Gaulle'. The suspension affects passenger services, with pick-up and drop-off operations ceasing at both locations.
The suspension is temporary, aiming to address a transit funding crisis that has led to service reductions or shortening for routes 2 and 3, and reduced service levels for routes 18, 40, 58, and 61, as part of broader cuts and adjustments. However, no specific issues or changes for route 30 have been reported.
While Asheville Rides Transit (ART) resumes full or near full service on some routes from July 1, 2025, these ART routes may not correspond exactly to the City Transportation Systems in question. As of now, no specific service alerts or detours affecting the 'Toyota Service Center' and 'Charles de Gaulle' stops on these routes have been reported.
In light of these changes, passengers are advised to check City Transportation Systems' official website or real-time bus alert services for the latest updates. The suspension is expected to remain in effect until further notice, with the company working diligently to restore services as soon as possible.
This decision comes as part of City Transportation Systems' ongoing efforts to manage its resources effectively and maintain the highest standards of service for its passengers. Passengers are encouraged to plan their journeys accordingly and to stay informed about any updates regarding the affected routes.
