Review the Q72 route summary

The proposed Q72 would maintain its existing routing.

To match stop spacing on other Local routes, Q72 stops would be spaced slightly further apart than existing to speed up buses and improve reliability.

Weekday frequencies would be slightly adjusted in certain time periods. Service spans would be slightly adjusted to match ridership patterns.
