    • All Core Service routes on Sunday will start later in the morning, and end earlier in the evening.
  • During the day, the Route 1 Douglas/Downtown buses will only stop at Cedar Park when travelling from Downtown to Treadwell.
    • During the day:
      • If travelling from Cedar Park to downtown, passengers have two options:
        • Board the bus at Cedar Park (#517) as the bus is heading to Treadwell (typically at :24 or :54 minutes after the hour), and ride the loop to Treadwell and then to Downtown.
        • Board the bus at the Cordova Street stop (#539) near Breeze-In (typically at :09 or :39 minutes after the hours).
      • If travelling on the bus from the Treadwell area to Cedar Park, passengers should use the Cordova Street stop near Breeze-In (#539).
        • Passengers also have the option to transfer to the next bus at the Cordova Street stop across from Breeze-In (#516), which will travel up the hill to Cedar Park. Please inform the driver if you would like to make this transfer when boarding the first bus.
          • Other potential transfer locations might be at the Senior Center or the Federal Building, if the bus is not running behind schedule.
      • In the Evening, after the Route 1 buses go to hourly service, all buses will stop at Cedar Park while travelling in both directions.
