Operative words

Starting Monday, TANK buses in Covington will move to their existing Sunday schedules every day of the week, fares are free, many express routes will cease to run altogether, and riders must enter by the rear door only under new changes implemented in response to the coronavirus pandemic.... since the 1X, 17X, 18X, 22X, 25X, 28X, 30X, 32X, 35X and 42X do not have Sunday service, they will not run until further notice. TANK's release also asked that passengers 'limit non-essential travel on TANK buses to allow for safe travel for those performing essential services in the community.'
