Construction on Mechanic Street is impacting the Red Route schedule reliability. When we can we are adding an extra bus to help but riders should build into their travel plan a potential delay and possible missed connections that could add as much as 30 minutes to their travel time. We recommend those using the stops close to City Hall in Lebanon (the stops at the Drycleaner) walk to City Hall to catch the Red route if they want a better chance of being on time. When we have the extra bus we have the Red route use the interstate when leaving City Hall.
