FAQ: What is a Layover Stop?

A layover stop is a designated location where Circulator buses remain stationary for a period of time before continuing their route.

These stops serve several purposes including:

• Driver breaks: We want our drivers well rested and alert to keep you safe
• Schedule adjustments: Ensuring buses do not run ahead of schedule
• Operational needs: Route changes or preparation for a return trip
