Pierce Transit is not eliminating bus Route 53, only one section of the route. This includes the areas west of 56th and Orchard, including Cirque Drive West and Grandview Drive West to 40th Street West.

For more information about the service changes we invite readers to visit www.piercetransit.org, call our toll-free customer service line at 1-800-562-8109 or pick up a new edition of Pierce Transit’s route and schedule book, “The Bus Stops Here,” at transit centers around the county.
