The County of Kaua‘i announces the following County-related changes in Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for the Transportation Agency in order to provide for the health, safety, and welfare of the people of Kaua‘i from the potential spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
Effective May 31, The Kaua‘i Bus will be increasing service to all routes to provide hourly mainline and shuttle service and will reinstate limited service to Wailua Homesteads and Houselots. All schedules will be the same for weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Schedules will be posted at bus stops throughout the island and printed schedules will be available on buses and at The Kauai Bus office by May 31.
Updated bus schedules are currently available on the Kauai Bus website at www.kauai.gov/transportation.
To improve routing and service times, the Hanapēpē Multipurpose Building will no longer be utilized as a bus stop. The nearest stop is located fronting the Armory on Kaumuali‘i Highway.
While we routinely clean all public transit vehicles, the Kaua‘i Bus continues to take enhanced proactive steps to increase cleaning of frequently-touched areas onboard The Kaua‘i Bus, including seats, grab bars, and door entrances and exits.
However, we need your help and urge our passengers, residents, and visitors to practice enhanced hygiene by:
Keeping your face covering on at all times when riding he Kauai Bus and while waiting with others at Kauai Bus stops;
Avoiding touching others when possible, including handshaking and other greeting gestures;
Avoiding the touching of your face, eyes, nose, and mouth; and
Washing your hands frequently, and thoroughly for at least 20 seconds
