Phoenix is delaying plans to reduce frequency to a bus route along Central Avenue, at least until after the summer.
Staff had recommended Route 0, the majority of which has buses arrive every 15 or 20 minutes, change to a 30-minute frequency throughout on July 28 in light of the new South Central Extension/Downtown Hub light rail line opening with 12-minute frequency along the southern part of the same route on June 7.
However, the Phoenix Transportation, Planning and Infrastructure Subcommittee opposed that plan both because of public opposition — 65% of 92 comments the city received were opposed to the reduction in frequency — and because it would be implementing the change in the middle of summer.
