GRT announced a number of changes to trips, effective yesterday, to "address overcrowding on some routes."
Routes 8 and 10A get one additional trip in the mornings. Route 19 gets four additional trips through the day.
Route 201 has a trip cut in the morning. For Route 9 Lakeshore, most (a total of 24 ) of the trips between UW and Cedarbrae are cut.
I kind of like that they are willing to tweak these schedules now, instead of waiting until winter. For 9 Lakeshore, it amounts to reducing frequency from 8 minutes to 15 from Cedarbrae to UW, and for 201 it essentially means starting the 10-minute headway slightly later in the morning. These aren't nice changes if you happen to have the habit of using one of those particular trips, but also not too serious.
