If you have a chance to thank a driver today, please do -- our operations team has been working tirelessly to keep buses running safely and reliably despite extreme obstacles. People are showing up in full force and showing why we're so proud to keep Missoula connected.

Routes 2 and 3 are detouring to avoid a downed tree and power line on Scott Street and will miss the Scott & Sherwood and Phillips & Scott stops. (2/3)

Update: Routes 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, and 14 are running normally. Route 9 is not running today due to road obstacles and downed power lines. Route 12 is missing the inbound 39th & Barbara stop due to a downed power line. Outbound Route 12 is running normally. (1/3)

Please note that incoming calls to the office are not working this morning, so use info@mountainline.com or the Contact Us page (mountainline.com/about/contact-…) to get in touch if needed.

With multiple operators unable to reach base safely and trees and power lines down all over town, circumstances are tricky and may be stressful, so please be kind to your drivers and fellow passengers, and stay safe.

Route 12 will not be servicing Garrett/55th/23rd and will not be able to go up High Park Way. Route 7 will not be reaching Walmart and will turn around at Kohl’s instead.

#RiderAlert: Multiple detours are in effect this morning due to downed trees and power lines. mountainline.com/2024/07/25/jul… See Bus Tracker for updates as they become available: bt.mountainline.com/map

If implemented, Routes 1 and 2 would likely move to half-hour service. More detail will be available if service changes are in effect. Operations staff will determine whether a reduction is necessary early on 7/25, so please check back in the morning for updates.

Multiple employees have reported downed trees and other obstacles that will keep them from being able to access the bus barn safely in the morning, so service reductions are possible depending on operator availability.

📢 #RiderAlert: Buses are still running during this storm, but expect delays and/or detours as needed. See the Bus Tracker at bt.mountainline.com/map for bus locations and stay safe.
