Community Transit buses and DART paratransit service will not operate on Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 6.

The RideStore also will be closed on Labor Day.

In June, Community Transit suspended Sunday and major holiday service as part of the agency s cost-cutting measures.

Sundays and holidays had less than a quarter of the ridership of a regular weekday. Community Transit does not expect to restore Sunday or major holiday service this year or in 2011.

By suspending service on these low ridership days, Community Transit is able to maintain frequent service on days with much greater demand.

Community Transit s revenues have dropped severely in the recent years due to the prolonged recession, falling to 2005 levels.

Sound Transit and Everett Transit continue to provide service seven days  a week.

Community Transit strives to help Puget Sound commuters think transit first.

With 54 local and commuter bus routes and one of the nation s largest vanpool programs, the agency is a leader in finding new ways to make alternative transportation an attractive option.
