Memorial Ave closed bus stops – no detour (from 1/02/2024 until further notice)

There are several closed stops along Memorial Ave due to the water main upgrades currently taking place and estimated to continue until May. These are currently impacting Route 29 passengers travelling both directions.

Please take note of the signs installed by the contractors at the closed stops, directing you to the nearest stop/temporarily placed stop. 

Due to the stops opening/closing or being relocated throughout different stages of the work, we are unfortunately unable to update with every bus stop change so we recommend arriving within plenty of time to your stop in case you are directed to walk to the next stop. 

Please safely signal to your driver when they approach, especially if visibility is restricted. We apologise for any inconvenience.
