All changes are subject to change. Last updated 2/12/26.
Starting January 18, 2026, BT temporarily adjusted weekday service to accommodate 2 active recalls limiting battery capacity on our 28 electric buses.
Frequency reductions and alternate route patterns are implemented affecting at least 8 routes at various times between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Service after 7 p.m. and on weekends is not affected.
Service during peak ridership times will be maintained as much as possible. These adjustments are designed to shorten the operating time of some routes to align with the reduced charging capacity of the electric buses. Routes with longer operating times are now run with diesel buses or 2 electric buses splitting the route halfway through.
In general, customers can expect frequency decreases before 8 a.m. and after 12 p.m. on various routes. On some routes this means a bus every 30 minutes instead of every 15 minutes, during part of the day. Alternate patterns operated on nights and weekends for some routes now begin at 12 p.m. Some routes are unaffected.
All of BT’s electric buses fall under both active New Flyer recalls. The recalls both significantly shorten the operating time for every electric bus. This decrease is compounded by the cold weather, which further reduces the overall performance of the electric buses. All 28 vehicles are still safe to operate, and BT has implemented all recommended safety precautions identified within the recall. No mechanical or safety issues related to these recalls have been experienced on BT vehicles.
