OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — Metro Transit is proposing changes to its bus routes that would increase service on eight routes, including more buses running in the evenings and on weekends.
The transit authority is hosting public meetings this week to discuss the proposed changes with riders and community members.
The following meetings are scheduled:
- Thurs., Feb. 12 from 3-5pm: Aksarben Transit Center (6801 Mercy Road)
