YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – Yuma County Area Transit Service changes are coming due to construction. There will be construction at the Hotel Del Sol on the corner of Gila Street and 3rd street which currently serves as the Downtown Yuma Transit Center.
The downtown hub will relocate one block North along 2nd street. Routes will be effected a little bit.
“We now have the 4A and the 4B. They used to run one clockwise, one counterclockwise, and the headways were an hour. Now we moved it to where they both turn clockwise, both busses, so it’ll be 30 minutes, so that should help,” said YCAT transit director Shelly Kreger.
They say they hope that helps the city of Yuma get around a little bit quicker.
“The green four will service the Pacific Avenue area, and the green 4B will service Arizona and 24th Street, so we’re still going to have the same coverage just quicker headways on that one,” said Kreger.
The big curve by Catalina will now be by request only, so locals will have to call into the office to request the stop. Route changes take effect on Monday, March 23rd. You can find route details here.
