opens in a new windowGo COMO, Columbia' s public transit provider, recently restored weekday bus service schedules to normal, returning to levels that were in place before August 2023.

Under the restored service model, six buses once again operate across all six routes: opens in a new windowGreen, opens in a new windowRed, opens in a new windowBlack, opens in a new windowOrange, opens in a new windowBlue and opens in a new windowGold. Bus stop frequency has improved to every 45 minutes, reducing wait times and improving convenience for riders.

In August 2023, Go COMO temporarily transitioned to a "combined routes" system due to a shortage of bus operators. That system reduced weekday service to three buses rotating between paired routes.

Since then, Go COMO has made progress in recruiting and hiring additional operators, allowing the system to expand service on a trial basis.

The timing aligns with the opens in a new windowUniversity of Missouri 's summer break, allowing operators who typically serve the opens in a new windowMU Tiger Line to support Go COMO's fixed-route service during the summer months.

Saturday service remains unchanged, with three buses continuing to serve all six routes beginning at 10 a.m.

Updated schedules and maps are available online. Riders can also use the ETA Transit App to track buses in real time, view estimated arrival times and receive notifications about detours and delays. Trip planning is available in opens in a new windowGoogle Maps, which shows available routes and departure times between any two locations in the Directions section.

Go COMO Transit remains fare-free for all riders.
