Starting this Monday, August 29th, 2011, Lehigh and Northampton Transportation Authority (LANTA) will implement a new route structure. Gone will be the current system of letters and numbers along with seperate evening service. A new system using three digit numbered routes will go into effect. The new route structure also includes several changes to the existing routes other than a redesignation.
The new route structure will be as follows.
- 100 series – core routes operating Monday through Saturday with evening and Sunday service.
- 200 series – routes operating during the day six days a week.
- 300 series – routes that operate Monday through Friday.
- 400 series – Allentown School District routes (school trippers)
- 500 series – FLEX routes
- 600 series – Loops, circulators, crosstown routes, etc.
