BOISE, Idaho — Valley Regional Transit will soon offer expanded ValleyRide bus service to the city of Eagle.
The organization's board approved several new changes on Monday, that include extending service to northwest Ada County.
In a news release, VRT said the changes - which will go into effect in the spring of 2020 - came as a result of public outreach and discussions with local cities.
The announcement comes about a week after VRT announced increases to its bus fares - the first rate hike in Ada County since 2003.
Other planned changes include:
Weekdays
- Adding 1.25 hours of 15-minute service on the 9 State Street route. ValleRide will also extend that route to the Ballantyne Lane Park & Ride in Eagle for three rounds trips during each peak period on weekdays.
- Maintaining 30-minute peak service on the 1 Harris Ranch via Parkcenter route
- Adding 30-minute service on the 2 Broadway route until 9 p.m.
Saturdays
- Increase service on the 3 Vista route, the 7A/B Fairview route, and the 9 State Street route to every 30 minutes all day until 9 p.m.
