Star Tran has finally -- finally! -- made some adjustments to its routes. After months of talk, the new routes will kick in on Thursday, June 5. A series of open houses -- including two today at Energy Square from 11:00 to 1:00 and 4:30 to 6:30 -- will help introduce riders to the new routes and schedules.
I rode Star Tran for years, so even though I don't currently use their services, I'm trying to follow this transition. Star Tran's riders tend to be creatures of habit so I don't expect the new route schedule to go over well in the short term. I suspect it will take a few months for folks to really be able to judge the new system's worth.
Are any of you Star Tran riders? Have you evaluated how the new system will affect your usage of the city's buses?

See what your friends and neighbors have to say about this.
Once I’m done hauling junior to school I will start using Star Tran again. It looks like they may have moved the route times up about 10 minutes, which should allow me and my middle-schooler to take the bus during the school year. If that’s the case, I’ll be quite happy.
I will know more after taking the new route a few times in June.
based on a quick glance of the routes that I would normally use, it looks to me like they actually made the routes worse. That is surprising considering how bad they were in the first place. I’ll have to ride the routes just to see what they are like in real life, but i’m not impressed.
Actually it looks pretty cool. The 42/43 route will go by my house in midtown to my job at east campus. This is a good change for me.
