Line 76 buses bypass Pennsylvania Ave. and 7th St. stops due to police activity
Line 76 Skips Stops Due to Police Activity
Line 76 buses are bypassing several stops in the Pennsylvania Ave. and 7th St. area due to ongoing police activity, transit officials said. The service disruption affects buses traveling in both directions and is expected to last approximately one hour. Riders heading to stops in the affected area should plan for alternative pickup locations or delays.
Context and Background
Transit agencies routinely adjust routes when police activity blocks streets or creates safety concerns for passengers and operators. Officials said the temporary stop skips allow buses to maintain service on other portions of the route while avoiding the affected area. Specific details about the nature of the police activity weren't available by publication time. Bus operators typically receive real-time instructions from dispatch about which stops to skip and when normal service can resume.
Key Details
The stop skips affect the Pennsylvania Ave. and 7th St. corridor, though officials didn't specify exactly how many stops buses are bypassing. Riders waiting at stops in the immediate area won't see Line 76 service during the disruption period. Transit officials said buses will resume normal stop patterns once police clear the scene and streets reopen. The agency didn't provide information about whether other routes serving the area are also affected.
Timeline and Implementation
The service disruption is expected to last approximately one hour from the time it began, according to transit officials. The agency didn't provide a specific end time for when normal service will resume. Officials said the duration depends on how quickly police activity concludes and streets become accessible to buses again.

Passengers heading to stops in the Pennsylvania Ave. and 7th St. area should walk to the nearest unaffected stop or consider alternative routes during the disruption.
