The Community Connector has made a handful of service changes this past year. At the beginning of the summer, they suspended their Saturday runs due to a shortage of bus drivers. That started in June.
In August, the Connector had to detour around construction going on in the Old Town area.
There were also talks this summer about changing the Community Connector's current system of riders waving down the bus anywhere along the route, to a fixed stop system instead.
If you need more information on the Community Connector Routes or fares, you can call the dispatch center at 207-992-4670 or log on to www.bangormaine.gov/bus.
