MEO paratransit to run later on some routes to align with regular Maui Bus

The Maui Bus Americans With Disability Act Paratransit service, operated by Maui Economic Opportunity, will be running later in the evening on multiple routes to coincide with changes in the regular Maui Bus service that started on Nov. 20.

MEO offers the curb-to-curb service by reservation to qualified riders with disabilities within the Maui Bus corridors. The regular fare is $2 per ride.

The schedule changes are between 30 and 90 minutes on some routes. Alterations to the schedule for Kīhei Islander, Kīhei Villager and West Maui Express routes triggered the later times for paratransit operations.

The changes affect the schedule for the latest pickups for:

• Central Maui to Kīhei/Wailea, 8:30 p.m., 1 hour later.
• Kīhei/Wailea to Pi‘ilani Center to North Kīhei, 9 p.m., 1 hour.
