LAFAYETTE, IN, March 13 — CityBus has prepared a COVID-19 emergency service plan in the event that a significant portion of the staff becomes ill.
Some campus loop and apartment shuttle services will also be canceled until further notice beginning Monday, March 23. This is due to Purdue University’s decision to move to an online class schedule.
Riders can learn about service reductions from gocitybus.com, the MyCityBus app’s “News” section, CityBus’s Facebook and Twitter pages, and the customer service line (765-742-RIDE).
Canceled trips will be crossed out on the MyCityBus schedule. CityBus will also post a service alert for each reduced route on the website. Riders can sign up for these service alerts on the MyCityBus app.
CityBus will make every effort to announce service reductions the evening before they take place. But riders should refer to the route schedules on the MyCityBus app for the most up-to-date information. The emergency plan will inform both CityBus staff and riders of any service changes.
CityBus staff has been advised to work remotely or not report to work if they experience any of COVID-19’s common symptoms.
