Route and Stop Modifications
Route 8 Chinden
Route 8 is getting simpler and more consistent! It will maintain a consistent route throughout the day, eliminating the previous afternoon directional change. The route will now serve stops on Discovery Way before proceeding to the State of Idaho Campus, designated as the major stop in the area. Consequently, several stops will be closed, with alternative stops provided for each:
| STOP BEING CLOSED | NEW STOP |
| AB600 State of Idaho Campus SWM | AB599 State of Idaho Campus NEM |
| AB330 W Bridger St & N Meeker Ave NWM | AB331 W Bridger St & N Meeker Ave SWM |
| AB103 N Discovery Way & W Bridger St NEM | AB104 N Discovery Way & W Bridger St NWM |
| AB101 N Discovery Way & E Chinden Blvd SEM | AB102 N Discovery Way & E Chinden Blvd SWM |
Route 10 – Hill Road
Route 10 will serve more riders with an extended final trip. During the last trip of the day, Route 10 will extend beyond State & Ellens Ferry to reach Collister and Johns Landing NWC. This extension allows riders to complete the loop from State Street to Collister. Additional stops served include:
- AB177 N Pierce Park Ln & W Lucky Ln NEC
- AB334 W Castle Dr & N Pierce Park Ln SEC
- AB333 W Castle Dr & N Eugene St SWC
- AB332 W Castle Dr & N Castle Hill Way SEC
- AB421 W Hill Rd & N Collister Dr SWC
- AB098 N Collister Dr & N Shirley Ave NWC
- AB097 N Collister Dr & N Johns Landing Way LWC
Stop Adjustments
- The bus stop at Caldwell Blvd & Hoffman Ln will now serve Route 42.
- Bus stop CN087 at Garrity Blvd & E Flamingo Ave SEC will be relocated further south on Garrity Blvd and renamed Garrity Blvd & Stamm Ln NEC, continuing to serve Route 42.
State Street Stop Renaming
In response to rider feedback, the final major stop on State Street will be renamed from “Gary & Bunch” to “State & Gary” to better align with major roadways.
