Kahului residents and visitors, take note of upcoming changes in traffic patterns. On Friday, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. part of Vevau Street near Kahului Transit Center will be off-limits to public vehicles, according to an announcement from the County of Maui Department of Transportation (DOT). This closure, sandwiched between Kane and School streets, is due to an essential electrical project set to bolster services at the transit hub.
The Maui Bus service, alongside pedestrian traffic, will retain the right of passage along the affected stretch of Vevau Street. It's important for locals to be aware that bus operations will continue unhampered, with buses slated to pick up passengers directly in front of the transit center during project hours. The County DOT indicated that the transit center's waiting area and restrooms will remain open to the public, a small consolation for the temporary inconvenience.
On the tech front, those utilizing Maui Bus won't be left in the dark. A free app is at their disposal, providing real-time bus tracking and arrival predictions—a lifeline during such infrastructure upgrades. The app is readily available on the county bus website and in iOS and Android app stores, ensuring that riders are just a few screen taps away from mastering their commute.
For more detailed schedule information, or to field any questions concerning the service disruption, the Maui Bus website stands as a beacon of guidance. As always, Roberts Hawaiʻi continues to operate Maui Bus, under the careful orchestration of the County DOT. Riders seeking additional help are encouraged to reach out directly to Roberts Hawaiʻi at (808) 871-4838 or touch base with the County DOT at (808) 270-7511, their lines are open for inquiries.
