Coming up Saturday, January 7, from 11:00am to 1:00pm, at CMRTA Headquarters on Lucius Road, officials will host a public forum. They plan to announce substantial cuts in hours of service, effective mid-February. They say if you show up, you can expect answers on how the reduction in service will impact you.
