Belleville council will consider expanding its public transit service to accommodate people working afternoon and night shifts.
At its meeting Monday, council will see a staff report recommending extension of bus service to 12.30 a.m. seven days a week.
There would be definite stops in the northeast industrial park, at the downtown terminal, and along Bell Boulevard.
Bus drivers would deviate from the route to drop passengers closer to their homes.
Riders could make appointments to be picked up closer to their homes as well.
City staff say there’s been a lot of demand from employers and workers for later bus service and it’s proposed the extended hours go into effect on a one-year trial basis January 2, at an extra cost of $200,000.
