Service

The People Mover bus system includes regular all-day service routes on many of the city's major streets as well as one route with rush hour-only service (the #92 which runs nonstop from Downtown to Eagle River).

. People Mover service for most routes within Anchorage begins at 6 or 7 am and ends at 9 or 10 pm, with some of the major routes running until 11 pm on weekdays (and the Route 40 to the airport and Spenard running until almost 2am on weekdays). On Saturdays, most of the all-day routes begin service at 8 am, and end at 7pm. On Sundays, routes end approximately 1 hour earlier. In 2016, the City of Anchorage undertook a study to redesign the service with the aim of providing more frequent service without increasing its public transit budget. This resulted in a proposed plan by late November 2016 for more streamlined routes, with less off-tracking than previously, combined with 15-minute frequencies in the densest parts of the city; service to outlying communities would be curtailed. It was expected that a new schedule could be introduced as early as August 2017, but it actually ended up being implemented on October 23, 2017. The previous system was designed in 2002, and most routes came once per hour.
