Maui temporarily halted bus system due to low visibility

Maui’s Department of Transportation shut down the Maui Bus system for about two hours tonight because of low visibility from Tropical Depression Flossie’s heavy rain.

At about 6:30 p.m., drivers were unable to complete their routes and parked while waiting for the storm to pass, county officials said.

Drivers were told to wait for two hours then reassess the situation. Bus service resumed about 8:30 p.m.

Maui Bus service will resume its regular schedule Tuesday, officials said.
