Please be advised that Town of Yarmouth Transit is back in service (Friday, May 22nd, 10 am). Note to Transit Riders: the Town of Yarmouth typically operates two transit buses. This allows for switching out vehicles, time for proper maintenance, and reduced wear and tear on one vehicle. However, one bus was involved in a serious accident last summer and had to be sent back to the manufacturer for extensive repairs. The amount of time it has taken for that bus to return has far exceeded expectations. The service has been operating with one bus, resulting in mechanical issues and downtime due to running six days per week. Disruptions in the service have been unavoidable.

We expect the second bus to be returned soon and are taking every step to make this free service more reliable. We understand your frustration and apologize for any inconvenience caused by the service disruptions.
