City council approves additional CMRTA funding until April

Posted: Updated:

COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - Bus riders around Columbia will still be able to keep their routes at least until April.

For now, the city's mass transit system will stay as is. That's after Columbia city Council approved more operational funds to support it.

The bus system is facing a 40 percent reduction in services. The reduction would include elimination of noon and weekend routes.

The CMRTA's board will reconsider the service reductions at a meeting in March.
