Just in case you didn't notice, DART First State has a new look to their website. It seems to be based of the State of Delaware Template.
This "new" website also brings news of the dates for the public hearings for the May-June service changes. The major highlights include:
- Sunday service in Wilmington as a part of a one year pilot program, starting June 29, 2008. Routes 1, 2, 4, 5, 15 and 33 (to Christiana Mall/Hospital) will run hourly from 9 AM to 6 PM (route 22 will also run on Sundays, with 90 minute headways).
- Saturday service in Dover as a part of a one year pilot program, starting June 28, 2008. Routes 101, 104, 107, 109, 112 will operate hourly from 9 AM to 6 PM.
- A new Transit Hub will open in Newark, and the Newark bus routes (6, 33, 34, 39, and 65) will be rerouted to serve this hub.
- Routes 31 (Newark Trolley) and 32 (Wilmington Trolley) will drop their 25 cent fare, raising to the normal fare of $1.15. Also, the 32 will be changed completely, with service to Wilmington Train Station being discontinued. With its new route, it will be known as the Wilmington Market Street Trolley.
