In an effort to provide reliable service to our customers, the Berkshire Regional Transit Authority (BRTA)’s bus route 14 is reducing service. This temporary service reduction is directly attributable to the nationwide bus driver shortage now impacting the residents of Berkshire County. Bus route 14 will not be running from 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM effective immediately through mid-November. The bus route 14 will continue to operate in the evenings starting at 6:30 PM until 9:55 PM. If riders used the bus route 14 during the day, customers can still travel in the similar corridor by utilizing BRTA’s bus route 12.
We appreciate your patience as we continue to resolve our ongoing staffing shortage.
BRTA is and has been striving to hire additional drivers through a multifaceted approach. If you are interested in becoming a BRTA operator, please visit https://berkshirerta.com/about/employment-opportunities/
