LANTA has announced that LANtaBus service will be suspended on Tuesday, October 30, 2012 in response to very severe weather conditions caused by hurricane Sandy. LANtaVan services are also cancelled except for semi-emergency medical service trips already scheduled.
LANTA Operations staff will continue to monitor conditions and service will be resumed as early as those conditions permit.
Such service cancellations are extremely rare and only implemented when the Authority believes that the safety of its passengers and employees would be in jeopardy if service was operated.
Hurricane Sandy has been termed "the storm of the century" and the "worst storm conditions in recorded history." The Authority is acting in the most prudent manner possible given all the conditions reported and observed and these include local area flooding, street closures and unsafe conditions at bus stops.
We appreciate your patience and will resume service at the earliest possible opportunity.
