 EVERETT — Sunday service could return at Everett Transit next spring, but it’s up to the public’s preference.
Bringing back Sunday would be instead of adding more weekday service.
The city bus system wants to know which way the public is leaning before it adds more bus service starting in late March. It can’t afford to do both.
A public hearing to give comments will be Dec. 16 at the City Council meeting. The meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. To speak, call 1-425-616-3920, conference ID: 110 954 87#
