    Brief

    This opportunity seeks to enhance bus service X18 by expanding vehicle utilization to provide additional mid-day trips beyond the current college-timed schedule. The project aims to increase service frequency and improve accessibility for passengers throughout the day, not just during peak college commute times. Suppliers should demonstrate experience in public transit operations, vehicle scheduling, and service optimization. The enhancement will benefit the broader community by providing more flexible transportation options and better utilization of existing fleet assets.
