<div class="content"><span style="padding-left: 50px;">(COLUMBIA, MO)</span> - Effective Monday, Nov. 28, Go COMO Transit will extend transit service to the Ashley Street Center, 1509 Ashley St., the new location of Room at the Inn.<br /><br />The orange route currently starts at Wabash Bus Station, serves stops in the North Central area and then travels north along the Rangeline Street corridor. Beginning Nov. 28, it will briefly depart from its path up Rangeline Street to travel east along Business Loop 70. From there, it will turn left onto Bowling Street and enter the parking lot occupied by the Ashley Street Center. After making a stop there, it will return to Rangeline Street along the same path.<br /><br />In order to maintain a route time of 40 minutes, the orange route bus will return to Wabash Bus Station directly after servicing the stop located at Rangeline Street and Wilkes Boulevard. As of Nov. 28, bus stops along Park Avenue and North Fifth Street and the four
remaining stops along Wilkes Boulevard will only be visited once per route, instead of the previous twice per route.<br /><br />To review the changes being made to the orange route, please see the attached map and schedule for both the new orange route as well as the route map for the orange route prior to Nov. 28. The new map and schedule will also be posted to social media, the Go COMO app and <a href="https://www.gocomotransit.com/">GoCOMOTransit.com</a>.<br /><br />To sign up to receive text, email or voice announcements concerning high-priority changes to regular bus service in the future, please visit <a href="http://alerts.como.gov/">Alerts.CoMo.gov</a>. There, you can create an account and sign up for the Go COMO Transit alert list, which will let you know when weather, traffic or staffing concerns disrupt ordinary Go COMO service.</div>
