Cap Metro gets flexible with new pilot
Tuesday, April 5, 2022 by Tai Moses
A new Capital Metro pilot program allows passengers to request a drop-off between regular bus stops after 9 p.m. According to the transit agency, the “Courtesy Stop pilot lets you select safe, well-lit spots to exit the bus closer to your destination. So, if you want to be dropped off directly at your apartment complex or at a MetroBus stop in between MetroRapid stations, we can make that happen.” Courtesy Stops “are left to the discretion of bus operators, who may decline a stop if they determine the requested location is unsafe for someone to exit the bus.” Read more about the pilot including when and how to request a stop here.
