The changes will go into effect on Sunday, April 28, and include extending numerous routes as well as changes to its Independence Day service.

Route 18: MMT said it will be extending Route 18 from its current endpoint at Boulder/Bonfoy, Bus Stop ID 2502 to a new endpoint at Eastlake/1912 Eastlake, Bus Stop ID 378.
