New 90-Minute Schedule for Route 3 Starting January 2nd, 2024
Beginning January 2nd, 2024, Route 3 (Blue) will switch to a 90-minute loop schedule. This change will provide better, more reliable service to our ACPT riders. Advent Health will also be added as a permanent stop to the route. The Burger King stop will be removed and replaced by a new northbound stop at the Naples Rd Intersection across from the Naples Truck Stop. ACPT wants to make sure bus service runs on time as scheduled to provide transportation that is reliable. A 90-minute loop will help account for the frequent heavy traffic and construction on Route 3.
