As part of the city's initiative to provide public transportation, Round Rock officials plan to begin operations of a demand-response bus service as soon as mid-year.
However, the planned reverse commute and express bus routes have been delayed indefinitely, said Round Rock Transportation Director Gary Hudder. Hudder said the City Council has directed the staff not to pursue those systems for the time being.
He did say the council has authorized them to move forward with a five-year contract for demand-response service that would cost about $2.5 million over the life of the contract.
The implementation of the demand-response service has already been delayed several times as the city has worked to put together its first transportation system.
