Yolanda made it a point to adjust bus services to the needs of the community. She established a route from Central Molokaʻi to Kalae. When the Maunaloa Post Office was temporarily closed due to structural and vector control issues last year, she set up bus runs to help West End residents collect their mail from the Hoʻolehua Post Office.
