July 30, 2025, Summit County — METRO’s Board of Trustees approved updates to bus Routes 8 and 29, along with a system-wide improvement to Sunday service hours. These changes are designed to improve frequency and better serve the needs of our community.

Routes 8 and 29 will see improved frequency during peak hours. Route 8 will operate every 15 minutes, increased from the previous 30-minute frequency. Route 29 will operate every 30 minutes, improved from its former hourly service. Sunday service starts earlier. The first lineup will depart from the Robert K.
