New Trinity Metro bus route changes are in effect. Here’s the updated list

Trinity Metro has made changes to its bus routes based on travel patterns and customer feedback as part of its “A Better Connection” initiative. The initiative’s goal is for a redesigned bus network that offers customers more frequent and direct travel routes around the city, along with adding new service areas.

Here is a list of the changes Trinity Metro has made to its bus route that went into effect on Sunday:
